Continent-Wise Analysis of Research Productivity in Child Psychology : A Scientometric Study

The goal of this study is to examine how child psychology research has evolved and grown, as evidenced by the publications that the Web of Science online database has covered between 1989 and 2025.There are seven continents, but we have only listed six of them here because the last continent, Antarctica, has not contributed anything to this area's publishing. Among these 126 nations, China has generated 381 (29.44%) articles, ranking first on the Asian continent. Japan, India, and Iran have published over 100 documents in this topic. The United Kingdom has created 1253 (11.07%) articles, ranking first on the European continent. Russia and Spain have published about 400 documents in this region. The USA created 2399 (80.86%), the highest of all the North American countries, which contributed 2967 in total. This could be due to the impact of new and recent technologies and trends that were heavily used in the USA and adopted by some other countries, such as Canada and Mexico.
