The objective of the study is to characterize the world scientific production on reading comprehension in databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Google Academic, PubMed, Microsoft Academic and Crosreff between the years 2011 to 2020. We worked with a universe made up of 6025 articles obtained. Bibliometric indicators were calculated through Publish or Perish v. 7.31, VOSwiever, pubreminer and the same analytical software from the chosen databases. The results indicate a total of 209952 citations, with an average of 20995; 39 and 12273 citations per year, citations per article and citations per author respectively. The study by Perfetti and Stafura, entitled Word Knowledge in a Theory of Reading Comprehension, stands out. The United States is the main producer of scientific evidence on reading comprehension and the type of scientific production that stands out the most are original articles. These results show that the production of scientific articles on reading comprehension is abundant and is experiencing growth that demonstrates the importance that world researchers give to this topic.
