The theoretical discussion was approached by authors who study the area, such as Kretschmann (2016), Lopes (2019), among others. The methodology applied in the research consists of an exploratory study, with a quantitative approach. In this perspective, we sought to identify the number of scientific publications in the timeline from 2010 to 2019, both on the subject of technology transfer and the transfer of technology between university and company. In the first cut, 1409 scientific articles were found, while in the second, a total of 298 articles. The research identified that there has been an increase in publication, but in a discreet manner and with some fluctuations in some years. Brazil appears among the ten countries that most publish about the study area of ​​this article, given that it represents the nation's relevance for scientific contribution in the international scenario.
