BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF BRAZILIAN SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF JUDÔ AND JUVENILE VIOLENCE IN ADOLESCENCE

Abstract

The aim of this study was to map the scientific production on Judo among adolescents and its relationship with youth violence, using a bibliometric approach of publications between 2011 and 2021. This is a bibliometric study with a quantitative approach, with research carried out in the Web of Science database (WoS) through the keywords (("Judo" AND "Adolescents" AND "Violence" OR "Crime")), from January 2011 to January 2021, from the titles and abstracts. The search resulted in 1,175 publications, with 6,086 citations, with an average of 5.52 citations per publication and an H index of 33, considered high from a bibliometric point of view. There has been a growth in publications in the last 10 years in Brazil, especially by authors affiliated with universities in the Southeast region of the country. The themes of special interest to the Brazilian scientific community in relation to the object of this analysis were research in the legal and health area, with the social sphere appearing as the third area in quantitative terms of publications.
