Semantic drift of concepts in scientific production often means a gate for several collective representations and their application in the praxis consequent with it. Before diffusion of the words and their assimilation in the imaginary of people in the daily world, each one of them shows a course of validation into the scientific community. Well care in childhood is an emergent concept which begins to be named in 1997, frequently associated to practices of health or social care and it's created by opposition and for preventing child maltreatment. More present in French and Spanish world, this notion have gotten an important impact inside of Latin-American scientific community. The purpose of this study is to show the conduct of deployment of the concept in leading journals indexed in Redalyc network over the past fifteen years. From a bibliometric analysis of the term, the participation of Spanish speaking Latin American countries are compared in base of publications of articles that use the term in reference of a related phenomena in various fields and disciplines. Upon recognition of their distribution over time, the main concept meanings and references are revealed. Is expected from this mapping, contribute to clarify and to delimit the concept, to contribute to its validation inside and outside the scientific community.
