Abstract

Objective: In this study, a survey is carried out on the scientific production in forensic fingerprint analysis field from 2012 to 2021 to identify the countries and institutions that published the most in this field and the institutional nature of these publications. Methodology: Bibliometric analysis in Scopus database.
Results: In this study, we found that India, USA, China and United Kingdom are the most productive, while Brazil was in thirteenth place, representing only 2.4% of world production in the field. In addition, we also observed that academic institutions, linked to higher education bodies, are the ones with the greatest contribution to world production. In Brazil, the Federal Police is the institution that most appears in publications.
Conclusions: this results can be used to improve studies and research in the analyzed area, thus allowing the consequent improvement of the referred expert activity.
