Abstract

The aim of the present study is to assess
the scientific productivity in the area of forensic
psychology in Spain. A total of 350 articles were
gathered through a bibliographic search conducted
in the main indexed databases, as well as in other
specialized publications. Results showed a growing
profile regarding productivity in this area. Author’s
productivity fitted Lotka’s law and collaboration
analysis showed that most of the documents
included in this study are one-authored articles.
However, co-authored articles signed by small
groups of authors were also typical in this area. The
analysis of journal’s productivity showed the
existence of a small group of very productive
journals: Anuario de Psicología Jurídica and
Psicopatología Clínical Legal y Forense. The
present study describes, by means of the main
bibliometric indicators, the scientific productivity in
the area of forensic psychology, from its beginnings
in Spain up to the present moment.
