| Summary: | The study aims to analyze the characteristics of publications on Education and Sustainability (Education and Sustainability), the databases Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus for the period 1991 to 2012, and identify what topics are being studied at this theme and what are the most relevant (hot topics), making a comparison of the results in two databases (WOS and Scopus). The study has a quantitative approach in order that sought to quantify some variables related to the scientific literature on the topic searched. A search of publications on Education and Sustainability in the period from 1991 to 2012, found 2419 publications based on WOS and Scopus in 5124. Comparing both bases surveyed it was found that the number of publications increased dramatically in the last decade and that the United States leads the ranking as the number of publications. We notice that in both databases, the authors of the most cited publications are not among the authors who published in the period. It was found that the publications with the highest number of citations are related to health, and the publications that occupy 1st and 2nd place in the ranking of most frequently cited are the same as in the base WOS Scopus.
