The didactic possibilities offered by new technologies to educational contexts as a creative resource, make them a tool with great potential. In this context, Augmented Reality (AR) as a variant of virtual and immersive experience, is characterized by combining digital information and physical information in real time. In this way, the learning process is favored by incorporating added value to education and on issues that are sometimes complex to address. The objective of this study is to identify the scientific publications related to RA applied to education during the period 2000 to 2018, in addition to the network of collaboration between inter-operators, countries and an analysis of the relationships between the main keywords. For this, a biometric analysis of the scientific literature of the Scopus database was performed. 1,197 documents on the subject of research were identified. The results of the analysis revealed that, the productivity has increased considerably since 2007. Finally, it has been detected that, among the main research trends, it is expected to advance in the elimination of AR on the cognitive and emotional processes of students.
