The study aimed to analyze the internationalization of the scientific production of the Institute of Geosciences of University of São Paulo (USP) through the application of a set of bibliometric indicators. It is a case study consisting of data collection and bibliometric analysis based on an exploratory and descriptive approach. A sample of 18 researchers was defined, through a set of three categories of indicators: production (Dedalus/USP, Web of Science and Scopus), impact and collaboration (only based on international databases). The results showed that the majority of the researchers of the sample increased their relative number of international publications. In addition, their production was more representative in Scopus, when compared through indicators based on absolute numbers of indexed documents and citations received. However, when considering normalized indicators, Scopus's advantage was not pronounced in the same magnitude. Finally, we cannot ignore the specificities of the areas, which are evident in the practices of scientific communication, which includes several factors of choice of scientific journals, consequently implying the internationalization.
