This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of publications patterns based on the Resource Based View (RBV) and Internationalization, in the databases Web of Science and Scopus, from 2007 to 2016, and to identify the topics related with this study and which of them are the most relevant (hot topics), making a comparison of the results found in the two databases. It has a quantitative approach considering that it sought to quantify some variables referring to the scientific production on the researched topic. Searches for publications on VBR and Internationalization in the period from 2007 to 2016 found 210 publications in the WOS database and 127 in Scopus. By comparing the bases surveyed, it was verified that the number of publications grew in the last two years and that the United States leads the ranking in the number of publications. It is noticed that in both databases, the authors of the most cited publications are not among the authors who published most in the period, except for Mike Wright. Two combinations were classified as hot topics in the WOS: Performance and Strategy.
