This research aims to evaluate the scientific production on public relations addressing Latin America through a quantitative content and bibliometric analysis of articles and special issues published between 1980 and 2020, written in the official languages of the region: Spanish and Portuguese. The results of 123 articles confirm a substantial increase of studies since 2011, and some limitations of scientific dissemination. Although almost half of the authors were based in Brazil (40%), 17 base countries were counted. This work complements the latest studies on the object of study in English (Thelen, 2021) and provides the scientific community with recognition and access to native production.

本研究旨在通过对 1980 年至 2020 年间以该地区官方语言（西班牙语和葡萄牙语）发表的文章和特刊进行定量内容和文献计量分析，评估拉丁美洲公共关系方面的科学成果。123 篇文章的结果证实了自 2011 年以来研究的大幅增加，以及科学传播的一些局限性。尽管近一半的作者来自巴西 (40%)，但统计的国家有 17 个。这项工作补充了关于英语研究对象的最新研究（Thelen，2021），并为科学界提供了对本土作品的认可和获取。
