Different studies, guided by different theoretical approaches, seek to understand the specifics of Distance Learning (EAD) and its applications. Thus, it is necessary to revise Brazilian articles on the subject seeking to know what we know and point out the gaps in the area. This study analyzes Brazilian scientific articles related to EAD in the period from 2000 to 2009 in the BVS-Psi and Scielo. databases It was considered the keyword "Distance Education" and presence of an abstract for the selected article. We analyzed 306 abstracts resulting from the initial search and only 82 of these referred to the object of this research area and / or possessed abstracts for analysis. The analyzed articles were from 46 scientific journals, being the journal Education and Research, with Qualis A1, the one who showed the highest number of publications (N = 7). Most studies were from multiple authors (70.7%) and female authors (62%), being the years 2006 and 2007 with the largest number of publications in the area. Regarding the type of article, there was equivalence between the amount of productions of theoretical paper and of research studies, with the ones in the Education area being predominant. It was concluded that, as an area in constant expansion, it is necessary a greater incentive to studies on the subject as well as tightening of magazines with regard to quality of the published abstracts, given the lack of fundamental information and standardization thereof.
