The objective of this work is to study the relationship between the production of indexed documents in the area of environmental sciences in the SCOPUS database and the best evaluated countries within the Environmental Performance Index (EPI). To do this, the first three places in the EPI for the years 2014, 2016 and 2018, and three Latin American countries, Brazil, Costa Rica and Mexico are analyzed by bibliometric methods. Among the applied analyzes, a thematic categorization was carried out using the keywords of the environmental science production using the axes of the EPI as an identification variable, statistical comparison regarding the scientific production of each country and the type of access to it. It was found that countries with strong governance (countries better evaluated within the index) are not related to a greater production of environmental science publications.
