In this paper we present a scientometric study of narrative production in mathematics education field indexed in the Web of Science databases. We analyze this time series diachronically as well as we study several indicators of scientific production and citation from different perspectives, such as authorship, institutional affiliation, and nationality of the authors. An analysis of social networks applied to authorship and institutional collaboration between countries has been carried out. Moreover we study the thematic relationship established by the author’s keywords that characterize the production. It was found that the narrative research in mathematics education is starting to acquire a relatively consolidated presence in recent times, but we cannot still speak of great producers or specialized invisible colleges. The thematic analysis shows a link between narrative descriptors in mathematics education with others related to aspects of the mathematics teacher profile.
