Abstract

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of research on childhood, adolescence, youth, and older adults published in the journal Psocial between 2014 and 2024. From a total of 136 published articles, 34 were selected and analyzed, assessing their temporal distribution, topics addressed, institutions involved, and keywords. The results reveal that psychosocial issues and psychopathology are the most studied topics, followed by cognitive development and family relationships. Youth has been the most researched stage of the life cycle, while the older adult population has received less attention. Authors from the University of Buenos Aires are the main contributors to the journal, and an increase in the participation of authors from non-Argentine universities is observed, suggesting a growing internationalization.
