  • We present a study about the Mathematics Education production in the Social Sciences Citation Index(SSCI) accessing through the Web of Science (WoS) database. We analyse the four journals specifically focused on Mathematics Education and indexed in the SSCI. We identify co-authorship patterns, diachronic production, the publication’s language and the universities’ productivity. This study has the aim to identify the international production of each country and university, as well as, to know the most important institutional collaboration networks. The study showed a 429,85% of production increment in 26 years, starting with 56 documents per year in the earlier stages up to 276 in the latter one. This increment rises up to 578,94% if we only take into account research articles. The overall Latin-American production is slightly higher than the European one, which regarding international research we found atypical.
