Analysis of the world scientific production on educational psychology (2000–2022)

The aim of the study was to characterize the world scientific production on Educational Psychology in the Sco-pus and Web of Science databases, between January 2000 and January 2022. We worked with a universe of 526 documents from the WoS database and 829 from Scopus, extracted from 167 and 316 sources respectively. Re-garding the number of authors, Scopus presents 1336 and WoS, 925. Single-authored documents total 294 in Scopus and 229 in WoS. The collaboration index between authors is slightly higher in WoS (2.64) compared to 2.39 in Scopus. The authors Mok, M. and Mackay T., and the journals Educational and child psychology and Psychiatria Danubina stand out. The United States is the most productive country in terms of scientific evidence. The type of scientific production that stands out the most is original articles. The growth of scientific production is corroborated by the emergence of the pandemic and its impact on education, requiring the support of psychology.
