This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the literature on sustainability in higher education, supported by a bibliometric analysis of 270 publications indexed in the Web of Science and published between 2014 and 2024. This research used RStudio software, through the Bibliometrix package, for data processing and analysis, aiming to characterize trends, gaps, and main scientific contributions in this field of research and identify the most influential authors, themes, and publications. This approach facilitated the analysis of the main scientific journals, the productivity of authors over time, collaborations between institutions and countries, and the most relevant keywords within the scope of sustainable institutions. The analysis of the results made it possible to identify four main thematic areas, organized into two major axes: one focused on the educational and psychological dimensions of sustainability, and the other focused on the contextual and systemic factors that shape education for sustainability. The results inform a comprehensive picture of current trends, existing gaps, and future lines of research, contributing to the deepening of knowledge regarding integrating sustainability in higher education.
