We hereby examine the main thematic and methodological characteristics of scientific research on the strategies of parental mediation of online activities of Spanish minors. The work is based on systematic literature review of articles, reports and other documents that have been published in the last decade taking into account both the academic and institutional projects. After analyzing the most recent contributions on parental mediation in Spain in comparison to neighbouring European countries we prepare a report on the main deficiencies, gaps and biases in this field. We note little development and maturity in this field of research in Spain.
