The data set of this research is compiled of the articles searched by the keyword “violence against women” on Web of Science (WOS) data base. These articles were analyzed bibliometrically according to their annual frequency, field of interest, country, institution, journals they were published in and their authors in five-year periods since 2000. Besides the social network among countries, institutions and authors contributed to the VAW literature was disclosed. It is observed that there had been a significant increase in the scientists’ interest on the subject of VAW since 2000.
