Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the references of articles with the approach to Health Education, published in Brazilian journals of nursing classified as Qualis Nursing A1 and A2. Descriptive study. Setting: SciELO library. We analyzed the references of 113 articles which were used to study the theoretical and methodological framework of bibliometrics, which aimed to promote subsidies for obtaining evaluation indicators of production, contributing to the expansion of scientific knowledge produced and disseminated among authors and researchers in nursing science. The main results showed the prevalence of article such as document most often quoted, references with 5 - 9 years of temporality, from Brazil and in Portuguese. The journals most frequently used were the Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem e a Revista Latino Americana de Enfermagem. Provided a vision of what is being referenced in nursing publications in Brazil, with regard to the Health Education.

Summary
This study presents a bibliometric analysis of references used in articles approaching Health Education, published in nursing journals. As regards to the bibliometric technique, we emphasize that citations and the scientific communication systems are essential for science. They form a web of information that assists in the communication process of. The advances in scientific knowledge depend mostly on registering the research findings to allow the later citation by other researchers and provide opportunities for ideas evaluation and exchange among scientists. They help to promote the advances in scientific knowledge and prevent the duplication of efforts in research development [1]
