Portuguese. This work corresponds to an analysis of the scientific production on the species Emerita brasiliensis Schmitt, 1935 through bibliometric indicators. Emerita brasiliensis is a decapod crustacean belonging to the Hippidae family. This species inhabits the intertidal benthic zone of beaches and, despite being distributed in great abundance along the Brazilian coast, has been suffering anthropic impacts on its habitat. The research object was chosen due to the need to understand the level of knowledge about the characteristics of this organism, which point to it as a potential bioindicator, in addition to having great ecological importance on sandy beaches and having considerable relevance in marine food chains. Bibliometric research is a method of quantitative analysis on a given subject. Through this method, it was possible to detect different lines of research on the subject, recognize limitations and determine patterns to research on this species. The collected data expose the contribution of the scientific community to that area of study. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the scientific production on the species Emerita brasiliensis based on the analysis of articles published in journals or conference proceedings indexed in the Scopus database. The amount of information collected corresponds to a search of articles published over the 20 years (1981-2021).
