In the recent period, increase in global temperature verified by the period of climate change is one of the main environmental changes. When it comes to the increase in urban temperature between areas and rural areas, on a local or regional scale, studies tend to assess the heat island phenomenon. Understanding the urban importance of heat, its main industries and research can contribute to the analysis of the phenomenon in countries with late urbanization. For, a scientometric was developed on the studies that focused on this thematic analysis in the period from 2000 to 2020, whose research resulted in 169 articles. The entire production went to this universe; including country, year, authors, institutions, keywords, journal (impact factor), climate, population and geographic area. The methodology used allows us to state that the urban number of publications related to urban heat islands has increased constantly in 2000. The country that stood out the most was China, responsible for about 40% of the total number of articles on heat islands. Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing University, were the two universities in China that published the most articles on urban heat islands. Modeling remains the main method, and the use of remote sensing tools is increasingly highlighted.
