Abstract
The aim of this study is to carry out a systematic review of the scientific production on YouTube and learning during the decade since 2010, in order to identify the main lines of research and the current state of the subject. The data were collected from two of the most relevant international databases: Web of Science and Scopus. A total of 264 documents were analysed. At the methodological level, the guidelines and protocols indicated in PRISMA were followed. The study presents a quantitative analysis to reveal the data of the scientific production published in the years of study and an analysis of co-occurrence between keywords, representing the data obtained in two-dimensional bibliometric maps. The results provide an overview of the scientific production on this subject, highlighting the increase in publications since 2018. The article reveals the main lines of research that study learning through YouTube, as well as the intellectual contexts where most scientific production on this topic is generated. The conclusions are synthesised in the evolution of YouTube towards a use for informal learning, the value of socialisation in learning and the multidisciplinary nature of YouTube as an educational resource.
