Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the bibliometric indicators and collaborative networks found in one of the most representative psychology journals of the Colombian Caribbean region (Psicología desde el Caribe), in issues published between the years 2009 and 2013. An analysis of 12 issues evince the importance given to collaborative work, a significant number of texts have been written by several authors (83.2%), namely Colombian nationals, who have chosen to work with authors hailing from Spain, Mexico, and the United States. Also, there is a marked preference for a network of Brazilian authors. Applied research in the clinical social area is the most preferred by authors who publish in this journal. The journal Psicología desde el Caribe is recognized as a publication which includes articles principally in Spanish, and which seems to merit confidence and trust of authors from all American nations and Spain.
