Resumen
Cyberbullying or cyberharrassment is a form of harassment or bullying that is carried out through electronic technologies and devices. The article aims to explore the structure of scholarly networks identified through a bibliometric analysis of research on adolescence within the context of postdigital society. The study focuses on academic output linked to school, family and social environments, using data retrieved from the Web of Science database. Seven hundred documents were obtained, and the networks generated, connections between the different nodes, were analyzed to determine in the results the existence of prominent authors and institutions in the field of cyberbullying. The analysis, conducted using VOSviewer software 1.6.20, reveals that cyberbullying constitutes a growing and significant field of study. It highlights numerous opportunities for advancing research focused on intervention strategies and policy development aimed at addressing this issue. Research reveals that Psychology and Education are key areas, with the United States and Spain as leaders, and prominent authors such as Rosario Ortega and Heidi Vandebosch. Three historical phases are identified: emergence, expansion, and urgency. The findings make it possible to detect trends, research gaps, and to guide educators, policymakers, and technology platforms in the field of digital and media literacy.
