Resumen

The interest and concern generated in recent years about the environment has increased. Countries have signed treaties and agreements in search of sustainable development with the goal of an environmental, social, and economic balance. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been established in this context as an international tool of great utility in different areas to identify and quantify the environmental loads of a process or product. In this article, a bibliometric analysis is carried out using the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases about LCA, indicating the values of scientific production in the period 2000-2020, by country, organization, and subject. Finally, a mapping for the keywords was performed using the VosViewer software.
