Abstract
Over the last three decades there has been a significant increase in the number of research studies in the field of History of Education. This, while favouring internationalisation and the creation of transnational research networks, also increases the complexity of the overall understanding of the discipline. Due to these circumstances, together with the small number of studies on the subject, the present research carries out a bibliometric analysis of 11 internationally relevant journals from 1967 to the present day. We have analysed the evolution of production over the years, citations, authors and collaborations, countries of affiliation, institutions and collaborations, and languages. The gender representation of the most productive authors has also been studied. In addition, an analysis of the most frequent keyword combinations has been carried out, together with the evolution of the most researched topics over the last decade. The results show a turning point in production from 2006 onwards, with significant growth, as well as low rates of collaboration between authors and countries. They also show the relevance in the last decade of historical-educational research by country and period, with particular emphasis on the history of contemporary education.
