This work reviews the Revista Latino-Americana de Educação em Astronomia (RELEA), using machine learning to analyze published articles. It quantifies the journal’s output, considering its multilingual contributions in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. By applying computational methods, the study identifies thematic trends in astronomy education across Latin America and how these themes have evolved. Additionally, it addresses the research gap in regional astronomy education, offering insights to guide future educational and research efforts. The findings highlight RELEA’s role in promoting scientific literacy and astronomy education in diverse cultural contexts.
