A Decadal Bibliometric Analysis of Domestic Violence Research Trends in Southeast Asia (2015–2024)

This study maps the structure and evolution of domestic violence research in Southeast Asia from 2015 to 2024 using bibliometric analysis of 995 Scopus-indexed publications. Biblioshiny and VOSviewer were used to examine publication trends, leading contributors, journal outlets, thematic shifts, and coauthorship networks. Output increased at an average annual rate of 9.1%. Indonesia, Australia, and Malaysia produced the highest volume of publications, while Australia and the United States occupied central positions in international collaboration networks. Key institutional contributors included Universiti Malaya, Mahidol University, and Universitas Airlangga, with sustained links to global partners such as Johns Hopkins University. The field has moved beyond prevalence estimates toward research on legal frameworks, policy design, and service delivery. Despite this expansion, scholarship remains concentrated in a limited set of countries and institutions, with insufficient attention to marginalized populations, less visible forms of abuse, and institutional accountability.
