School violence: a literature review based on Social Network Analysis

Abstract

The research, classified as a literature review, resulted in 276 articles, published in Brazil between 1998 and 2023, in 100 different journals hosted on the SciELO.br, Educ@, and Pepsic platforms and has 603 authors linked to 182 different institutions, bringing together 1,064 keywords. The work, similar to cartography, used Social Network Analysis and identifies the authors with the greatest number of productions, network co-authorships, and institutions with the greatest contribution. The most frequently occurring keyword is bullying, and indiscipline and rights emerge as relevant on the social network. Ensaio magazine is the one that presents the largest number of articles on the topic.
