For science to be able to develop research on a topic, first of all, it is important to know the status of current knowledge present in the literature about it, and thus, develop a strategic plan for the development of research and conservation. One of the methodologies that makes it possible to assess this type of knowledge is scientometrics (Vanti, 2002). Given this premise, the present work aimed to metrify the national scientific production on the theme "Migratory Birds" in the Brazilian northeast, between 2000 and 2022, in order to map the current status of knowledge and scientific literary production, being able to contribute as a tool for the development of projects and actions that aim to fill possible knowledge gaps. The work evaluated a total of 1113 publications, following the pre-established keywords in the methodology, which resulted in 63 publications that met the proposed criteria. Of these, a total amount of 132 species can be measured with occurrence recorded for the northeast region of the country. The need for more in-depth research on the subject became evident, as well as the search for publications in the most renowned journals in the scientific area.
