The results of the study included 989 manuscripts, of which 81.2% were original empirical articles. The United States is the main country with the highest scientific production (41.7%) and the one with the greatest collaboration with European countries (United Kingdom, Germany and France) as well as countries such as Australia. The journals with the highest number of publications were the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (USA) and the terms widely used were adolescent and aggression.
