Abstract
This study examines world scientific production on sustainable development on the basis of bibliometric indicators (scientific production, percentage variation of production, average cites per document, normalized impact, etc.) for the period 2007-2017. The analysis is made by country, by research institution, by art per millions of inhabitants and by gross domestic product, using Histcite database of scientific literature. The results show the total world production to have increased during the period studied, and that this topic has been attracting great scientific interest. Two groups of countries with high production are distinguished, one of which has highly specialized subject focus. There also three groups of countries with the major production compare articles per millions of inhabitants, which also have high impact.
