This article analyzes the Brazilian scientific output in stem cells published from 2000 till 2013 and indexed in the Web of Science (WoS). The research constitutes a bibliometric study and the results show the significant growth of the scientific output, the predominance of articles and the preference for the English language. Among the most productive institutions stand out the Universidade de São Paulo and the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. The areas hematology and transplantation are highlighted in thematic classification of scientific output marked by the interdisciplinarity. The core of journals reveals strong presence of foreign journals and indicates the international diffusion of scientific output. International collaboration has achieved the index of 31.3% and brought together 56 partner countries, especially USA, Germany and France. It is considered that Brazil has established itself as an important agent in research on stem cells and that scientific output is likely to increase in the coming years and to reach greater international visibility.
