Abstract: This study explored academic production on the theme of internationalization between 1999 and 2013 in academic journals, ranking from Capes/Qualis B2 to A2 (triennium 2010-2012). Methodologically, bibliometric and social networking analysis techniques were used. The main findings were: Borini, Scherer, Amal, Ferreira, and Gomes were highlighted for their co-authorship with regard to degree centrality. The higher education institutions (HEIs) USP, ESPM, and Uninove stand out in the social network of HEIs with respect to their degree. All social networks displayed in this work have low densities. The most published themes were: multinational companies, international business, innovation, competitive strategy, technology, export performance, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), international markets, international marketing, and international strategies. These themes were highlighted in this study and are inherent in internationalization, showing coherence to the topic explored and, above all, that this subject is broad, because it addresses prevalent themes for the better understanding of the processes that drive internationalization in a global context.
