The objective of this study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of academic production in the field of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms in the Scopus database. The above with the purpose of identifying in this subject the indicators by year, author, affiliation, country or territory, type of document and knowledge area. The methodology of bibliometric analysis described by Escorcia (2008) and Arias (November 28, 2014) was applied, which consists in performing statistical techniques that have the purpose of evaluating the research process and its evolution. The study was of a quantitative longitudinal nature with a description of trends in scientific production. As part of the main results, it was identified that 2015 was the year that had the highest production record on the subject, with a total of 80 documents published in the database, considering that Scopus has records since 1985. While the author who had more publications on the term ADR was Cheung So, researcher at the University of Hong Kong, with a total of 19 documents. Likewise, it was found that the country that had the most publications in said database was the United States of America with 369 documents between 1985 and 2018. Although Scopus has a record since 1985, the period of analysis corresponded to the decade from 2009 to 2018. Although there was an increase in the publications on the ADR mechanisms, it should be noted that a significant decrease was identified in the publication of documents alluding to the subject as of 2015.
