The purpose of this paper is the bibliometric analysis of the journals indexed in SciELO in the area of teaching and learning English as a second language. The journals searched were: How, Profile, and Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal. The search for information made it possible to compare different bibliometric indicators. Although it is true that the results of this research show that scientific production in the field is abundant, varied in terms of thematic lines, and collaborative, it is only reported in three journals indexed in SciELO; however, other research that reports on the scientific production on the teaching of English as a second language, all the scientific production published in journals indexed in SciELO is made invisible. Since most of the publications in the journals studied are by Latin American authors, it is evident that in other productions the region's research in the field is being ignored.
