CiteSpace software was used to draw the institutions or regional cooperative networks, journals cited frequency analysis diagram and keyword co-occurrence diagram so as to analyze the research status and hotspots of childhood adversity. Results A total of 8 080 publications were included, and the annual number of published articles was increasing. King's College London and Harvard University were the main institution, with 332 and 226 articles respectively. The United States and England were the leading countries in published papers. A total of 8 080 articles were published in 77 journals, among which Child Abuse Neglect and Am J Psychiat were important sources of academic research, with 3 792 and 3 206 cited frequency respectively. The current research hotspots focused on abuse, household dysfunction, depression and mental health. Mental disorder, disease, physical abuse and intimate partner violence were the frontier fields. Conclusions There are great prospects in the field of childhood adversity. Abuse, household dysfunction, depression and mental health are current research hotspots. Mental disorder, disease, physical abuse and intimate partner violence are the research frontiers of childhood adversity.
