Özet

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment (JPA) over a 15-year period from January 2010 to April 2025. Using data from Web of Science, we analyze publication trends, collaboration patterns, citation impact, and thematic evolution within the field of psychoeducational assessment. The analysis employs VOSviewer to visualize collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, and citation patterns. Findings reveal a dominance of North American scholars, notably from York University and the University of British Columbia, underscoring the journal’s methodological focus on psychometrics, including validity, reliability, and measurement invariance. Citation analysis identifies central clusters centered on advanced statistical modeling and adolescent psychological assessment. Keyword analysis highlights the prominence of methodological terms alongside themes like intelligence, perfectionism, and emotional functioning. This bibliometric review provides insights into the intellectual structure and development of psychoeducational assessment research, highlighting emerging trends and potential directions for future investigation.
