POLO, Lucila; GODOY, Juan Carlos; IMHOFF, Debora  y  BRUSSINO, Silvina. Following the tracks of an emerging area: bibliometric analysis of Latin American Political Psychology in the 2000-2010 period. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.spe5, pp.2047-2057. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy13-5.ftea.

This study examines contemporary Political Psychology in Latin America, by means of a bibliometric approach, for the period 2000-2010. Results show a steady growth of the field in the region (especially in Spain, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina and Brazil). These countries coincide with the place to which the most productive institutions belong. In turn, the most productive authors of the period are Argentine. The most productive journals concentrate in Spain and Brazil. Finally, a tendency towards individual work, with low levels of collaboration among researchers, is observed. Based on these results, we analyze the current place that Political Psychology has as disciplinary field in Latin America.

Palabras clave : political psychology; bibliometric analysis; Latin America.
