Advances in Psychological Assessment, as a specialization indicates the need for studies to analyze and characterize their scientific production in order to guide future research. Along these lines, this study examined the national and international publications of transcultural studies on Psychological Assessment from 1992 to 2010 found in electronic databases. The descriptors to be searched were: psychological assessment, psychometrics, psychological and transcultural testing. 239 abstracts of articles were analyzed, of which 79 were related to the research topic. The highest number of publications was found in the B2 Qualis Psychology System making up 8% of the total publications analyzed..Most of the papers were written by both men and women, and between 2006 and 2010 the highest number of publications took place. The field research was the most common method used by the authors. It is necessary to standardize the publication of abstracts of scientific papers since most of them have incomplete information, making it difficult to achieve a full recovery and prevents the possibility of a thorough analysis of the production in this area.

Keywords : Scientific production; psychometrics; scientometrics; transcultural studies.
