Adolescent sexuality is a problem that has been studied frequently due to the risk of unwanted and/or unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and sexual victimization. The aim of the present paper is to present bibliometric indicators on the theme "sexuality in adolescence" in the Scopus database. To this end, a survey was carried out, at Scopus base, in July 2017 to identify the main authors, institutions, journals and areas that publish the most about the topic. It was possible to identify that Brazil is the 5th country that publishes the most respect to the theme, with growth rates of articles in the order of 20.8% per year, considering the last 15 years. The main institutions that produce articles authored by Brazilians are USP, FIOCRUZ, UNICAMP and UFRGS.
