Purpose: This study aims to identify research trends in papers published by the Korean Society for School and Community Health Education from 2000 to 2023, and to establish the future direction of academic development and academic identity of this journal. Method: 449 papers published from 2000 to 2023 were analyzed by life cycle for research topics, research designs, data collection methods, secondary data sources, IRB approval, and keyword rankings using SPSS win 23.0 and Textom programs. Results: The number of papers in this journal by life cycle was 53 for infants and school age, 126 for adolescence, 113 for college students, 97 for adults, 26 for vulnerable groups (elderly and disabled people), and 34 for others. The number of papers by publication year was 131 in 2015–2019 and 122 in 2010–2014. By theme, there were 139 papers on healthy lifestyle practices and 123 papers on mental health management. The research designs were 350 cross-sectional studies and 38 literature review studies. The data collection methods were 298 primary data and 98 secondary data. The secondary data sources were 23 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys and 22 Youth Health Behavior Surveys. A total of 43 IRB-approved papers were published. And the key words of all papers were health (161 times, 20.6%), influence (141 times, 18.0%), and factor (96 times, 12.3%). Conclusion: This journal is in line with the purpose of the society, which is to promote national health and health education, but it is necessary to find ways to increase the overall number of papers, resolve the discrepancy in the number of papers by life cycle, and find ways to activate the IRB.
