摘要：Biodiesel research has been encouraged by governments, companies and research institutions worldwide. Thus, this work aimed, through a systematic process, select articles published in national journals, to compose a bibliographic portfolio aligned with the theme biodiesel and analyze the profile of these publications. The work is characterized as descriptive with a qualitative and quantitative approach through bibliometric analysis. The search was conducted in the databases SCOPUS and ScienceDirect through twenty-two keywords. At first, it was obtained a total of 1030 articles in 193 journals. This number was reduced by selecting the journals with impact factor (JCR) above 2.5 (75th percentile), thus producing a total of 49 journals, containing 599 articles. The search resulted in a sample of 30 articles that make up the literature in the Scopus database and SienceDirect. The principal journals are: Energy, Energy Policy, Environmental Science and Technology, Fuel, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews.
