In this paper we inform the results of the third bibliometric analyses of the two most widely known psychological journals published in Puerto Rico: Puerto Rican Journal of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Journal. We utilized the last decade (2010-2019) to analyze the data. We report some important parameters such as the authors with most publications, identify the most common author’s affiliations, trends in publishing in one or both journals, and specific psychological topics discussed. The results indicate that in the last decade we can see a clear pattern of results that reflect an increasing number of published articles in those two journals. Also, some data are very similar to those reported in the previous two bibliometrics. First, more than 50% of all the authors are affiliated to the University of Puerto Rico (Río Piedras Campus) or the Carlos Albizu University. We also recommend that the next bibliometric should include other recent journals that are being published in Puerto Rico.
