| Abstract |
The debate over trafficking of human beings for the purpose of organ\n removal (THBOR) remains largely absent from policy debates, as its crime\n is hardly detected, reported and sparsely researched. However, criminal\n networks continue to exploit vulnerable populations, particularly\n migrants. To help bridge this gap in knowledge, we employ a bibliometric\n analysis to examine whether the nexus between organ removal and\n migration is being addressed by the current academic literature. Our\n results indicate that (1) research exploring the link between THBOR and\n migrants is relatively scarce; (2) organ trafficking literature output\n is largely clustered in a couple of Western countries, and (3) despite\n the international nature of the topic, most empirical studies on organ\n trafficking and migration lack representation within the social sciences\n and humanities. Taken together, our results point to a huge gap on\n scientific publications between THBOR and migration. Quantitative data\n is required to lift the current knowledge constraints and better inform\n policymakers. |
