Abstract

The bibliometric study analyzes the progression of global research on polyvictimization from 2005 to 2023, focusing on its impact on adolescent mental health. Polyvictimization, a term introduced by Finkelhor in 2005, encompasses multiple victimization from such as sexual abuse, bullying, and witnessing violence, which cumulatively impact on individual’s well-being. This study employs a bibliometric approach to dissect the research landscape, identifying pivotal authors, institutions, and countries that have significantly contributed to the discourse. We mapped publication trends, citation metrics, and co-authorship networks to reveal a growing academic interest and an interconnected global research community with the United States as a central hub. The results indicate an increased recognition of polyvictimization’s mental health implications, particularly during critical developmental periods in youth. This comprehensive review serves as a vital resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, offering insights into past developments and guiding future research trajectories in understanding and mitigating the effects of polyvictimization.
