Abstract

This study analyzes scientific production in Latin American education journals indexed in SCOPUS during the period 2017-2022, with the aim of characterizing it by identifying patterns of collaboration, citation and productivity, to understand its dynamics and regional impact. Using a descriptive approach with bibliometric indicators, 22 educational journals were selected from the Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) and SCOPUS databases, to place a total of 6,488 documents, including research articles and bibliographic reviews, which recorded 15,651 signatures of 11,911. authors. The results highlight the leadership of Brazil, which concentrates 54.5% of the documents and 11 of the 22 journals analyzed. In addition, an increase of 16.5% in the annual production of publications and a growing trend in collaboration between authors was identified, with an average collaboration index of 2.41. However, the average citation impact is moderate, reaching 2.2 citations per document. In conclusion, the study shows a dynamic and constantly evolving panorama, characterized by Brazil's leadership, growing internationalization and the strengthening of academic networks in the region. However, it is necessary to diversify analysis sources and optimize visibility strategies to increase the global impact of educational research in Latin America.
