This study aims at learning about world publications related to Badminton research work on Sports Science. We intend to learn about (1) which areas of Sports Science are reporting about Badminton; (2) the year of the publications; (3) the publication time intervals (interstice); (4) the continent where they come from; (5) the bibliographical sources; (6) the authors; (7) the size, competition level, gender information and age the sample publication refers to. The applied method was a bibliometric and scientometric study applied to the theme "Badminton". The data was collected from the CAPES Scientific Journals Gateway, from computers with access allowed to reference information databases of the Sport Science research area, from April to August of 2016, by searching the word "Badminton" on the paper title. A Datasheet processing software was used to process and analysis. As a result, 175 papers were recovered from the SCOPUS database as published papers on 75 Research Journals, by 381 authors. The year with the largest number of publications was 2015 with 32 papers. The Journal of Sports Sciences (Taylor & Francis) appeared as the Journal with the largest number of published papers (12). Health is the Sport Science area with most publications: 43 published papers. Health, Biomechanics and Sports Training accounted for the largest scientific production on the 2013-2016 year interval, mostly produced on the European Continent. Regarding Badminton as research theme, although our research was limited to publication in English, Spanish and Portuguese languages, our findings allow us to say that research efforts are been directed to sports performance and that, after 2013, the quantity of studies increased significantly when compared to the 1991-2012 published scientific production.
