Through a bibliometric analysis composed of 191 journal articles written in English and Spanish, found in 7 different databases (ERIC, Scopus, DOAJ, EBSCO, ISOC, REDIB, and PsycARTICLES), the following variables were analysed: database, academic journal, authorship (including number of authors, country, and institution), year of publication, Social Network Site involved, level of education, study population, and nature of the study. Results show the existence of a greater number of publications written in Spanish than in English as well as a higher interest in the topic from Spanish authors, academic journals, and institutions . Facebook and Twitter were ranked asthe most popular SNSs in both English and Spanish articles . At the same time, the majority of the selected articles were focused on tertiary education and their students . Finally, Scopus was the one which hosted the largest amount of international literature (most of it framed by a qualitative research design) . All in all, the scientific production analysed on the educational use of SNSs reveals a considerable, increasing, and developing interest in the present topic . Thus, several educational implications emerge with the introduction of digital scenarios, such as SNSs, in the educational environments .  \nKeywords  \nSocial Networks Sites, Social Media, Education, Learning, Bibliometric Analysis .  \nA.

Consequently, new ways to interact that transcend physical spaces have surfaced. This circumstance cannot be disregarded by education . In the last two decades, many studies have shown how Social Network Sites (henceforth, SNSs) have gradually been introduced into the educational scenarios (Nagel, Remillard, Aucoin & Takenishi, 2018; Tuzel & Hobbs, 2017; Norman, Nordin, Din, Ally & Dogan, 2015; Gómez, Andersson, Park, Maw, Crook & Orsmond, 2013; Del Moral & Villalustre, 2012; Pasadas Ureña, 2010; Hiradhar & Gray, 2008) . Thus, offering numerous educational possibilities for emerging generations to explore diverse human dimensions in formal, non-formal, and informal educational contexts . At the sametime, there are emerging SNSs as tools for teachers to implement different active methodologies that go beyond the traditional ones (Gómez, Ferrer & De la Herrán, 2015; Castaño-Garrido, Maiz & Garay, 2015; González & Ruiz, 2013) . Therefore, SNSs have substantial educational implications and relevance for research, even more when considering this is a new but rising field insufficiently explored.  \nIn the light of this context, it is worth wondering how it has been the presence of SNSs in education since its appearance and, specially, the pedagogical use they are assuming in the educational times and spaces . Nevertheless, it is unlikely to find academic works that analyse the amount of publications produced about the educational use of SNSs in the last years .
