Abstract
Cyberbullying behaviour is an international public health concern all around the world due to the increasing trend of working from home during COVID-19. The prevalence of workplace cyberbullying behaviour (WCB) has been shown to be increased prior to COVID-19 among allied health professionals, such as nurses and trainee doctors. There has been a lack of bibliometric analysis on scientific publications concerning this subject; therefore, the current articles presents a protocol for bibliometric analysis of WCB. An indicator-based search will have carried out from documents on PubMed and Scopus to retrieve data from primary peer-reviewed WCB research articles using relevant keywords. Articles that involve WCB research will be included in the analysis. The dataset will identify documents all around the world, and data will be validated using the VAKS assessment tool. Analysis will be carried out by comparing the relationship among institutions, authors, countries and keywords. The dataset will be publicly accessible in the Zenodo repository. There will be no involvement of human participants; therefore, the current research does not require an ethical review. Results will be publish in a peer-reviewed journal and at related conferences

Cyberbullying is defined as “an aggressive, intentional act carried out by a group or individual, using electronic forms of contact, repeatedly and over time against a victim who cannot defend him or herself”.1 The past definition has a limited scope, not applicable to online workplace harassment and focussed on adolescents only. Recent research concludes the definition of workplace cyberbullying behaviour (WCB) as “[involving] perceived unwanted or aggressive behaviour(s) perpetrated at any time through electronic media, that may harm, threaten, or demoralise the intended target(s) of this behaviour(s)”.2. Cyberbullying has become a critical youth issue worldwide.[3] A recent death of 25-year-old Sulli Choi (October 14, 2019), who was a famous South Korean pop star has raised issues of growing cyberbullying Before her death, Sulli had been long harassed by cyberbullying, including hate speech, stalking, and threats.[4,5] Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the National Research Foundation of Korea has recently funded several research projects on cyberbullying[6] and workplace cyberbullying.[7].
