Bullying escolar en América Latina: mapeo bibliométrico de dos décadas de investigación científica.
Resumen
Este estudio presenta un análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica sobre bullying escolar en América Latina durante 2006-2025. Mediante metodología PRISMA, se analizaron 90 documentos indexados en Web of Science Core Collection. Los resultados revelan crecimiento sostenido anual con marcada concentración geográfica en Brasil, limitada colaboración internacional, y predominio de aproximaciones epidemiológico-descriptivas centradas en consecuencias sanitarias. Se identifican brechas críticas en investigación sobre cyberbullying, estudios longitudinales y evaluación de intervenciones preventivas. El campo demanda transición hacia investigación traslacional, contextualización cultural de marcos teóricos, y fortalecimiento de capacidades investigativas en contextos emergentes para generar evidencia accionable que informe políticas educativas efectivas.
