Bibliometric method was used to analyze the distribution of the publication time, types, journals, authors, publication location, research location, research field and keywords through BibExcel and VOSviewer.ResultsThe number of the citing references showed a wavy increase. Gecatti J G was the author with the most publications (17). Universidade Estadual de Campinas and the WHO Human Reproduction Programme were the two main author groups. Brazil was the study site with the most original research (21). Pilot studies of Maternal WOICE tools have been conducted only in Brazil and Africa. Among the citing references, 26.1% of the research fields focused on obstetrics and gynecology, and 73.9% of the literature involved other research fields.
