Abstract
Developmental and educational psychology in Psicothema during the last 15 years. A content analysis of 15 years of Psicothema is undertaken based on the papers about developmental and educational contents published by the journal. After registering and coding the data according to previously established criteria, three types of variables are obtained: Formal identification or by external criteria (authors, origin, period, etc.); classification by internal criteria or by content (paper source and genre, research methodology, theoretical approach, and topic); and time period for publication. 171 papers are identified, of a total of 1134 (15,08 %), where a total of 337 authors from 52 differents institutions and universities have participated. We observe an incresed process of participation and diversification of author and origins and of assumption of international standards. We discuss the results and propose the searchig of appropriate goals for the next years.
