In this study, a bibliometric analysis of the literature using Social Network Analysis (SNA) in classroom dynamics at the elementary and secondary education levels was conducted. The Scopus database was used to search articles, and Vosviewer software was used to analyze the findings. The quantity and nature of academic production was systematically studied, describing the predominant thematic axes and identifying the most influential journals and authors contributing to this field. A marked interest and an increasing trend in publications over the last 10 years were determined. Furthermore, research is found within a multidisciplinary field, highlighting areas such as social sciences and psychology. Four thematic groups were identified: SNA in general, interpersonal relationships, learning, and bullying. In addition, some thematic axes that may be innovative for future research are provided, thus providing a roadmap for educators to guide evidence-based strategies to address the complexity of school social networks.
