A bibliometric study of the Spanish scientific production in Clinical Psychology published in international journals during a period of 50 years (1971-2020) is carried out. There are 3636 papers published in 130 Clinical Psychology journals, which contained 16135 author signatures, corresponding to a total of 8547 authors. 70.76% of the authors are temporary and only 2.01% have participated in the completion of 10 or more papers. It is observed that the increase in the number of Clinical Psychology studies carried out in Spanish institutions is related to the presence of a greater number of Spanish journals of this discipline in the Web of Science, which confirms the degree of maturity that Clinical Psychology has reached in Spain, which is manifested by the increase in the number of papers published in international journals and the increase in the number of Spanish Clinical Psychology journals in WoS.

Digital technology is already part of the practices related to test use as well as psychological and educational assessment; test design, data collection, and psychometric models have all evolved. As a consequence, we face a number of challenges such as professional training, collaboration with other areas, expansion of the testing concept, and deliberation on ethical and legal issues. In this dynamic environment, the experience and knowledge related to psychological measurement give us the capacity and opportunity to integrate and expand the pillars on which good test use practices are based: reliability, validity, and ethical use. In this paper, we review the development of the information and communication technologies, showing their impact on psychological and educational assessment, with the aim of exposing some innovations that will mark the development of research and professional practice in the coming years.
