Bibliometric analysis of pedagogy of death.

Introduction: The objective of the present study is to identify the main emerging trends and research lines with respect to pedagogy of death. Methods: The methodology was based on a bibliometric analysis of the main international scientific contributions found in the Web of Science (WoS) database. A total of 276 articles published between 2010 and 2023 were revised. The data were analyzed with VosViewer and Bibliometrix R which are software tools for building and visualizing bibliometric networks. Results: The main results show that the publications on pedagogy of death have increased through time, but decreased starting in 2020, both in the number of articles and citations. Discussion: Scientific evidence is also presented on the need to continue working on pedagogy of death. This study contributes toward maximizing the visibility of pedagogy of death work in different contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
