The term “equity” (EQUI) is a complex concept to be defined, because it depends on
many factors, mainly political ideals. The objective of this research is to determine the evolution
and development of the term equity in education by the scientific community. The main objective
is to identify the scientific production and performance of the term equity in the field of education.
The research method developed is based on bibliometrics, specifically on the technique of scientific
mapping, and a process of quantification, analysis, evaluation and estimation of scientific documents
was developed. The results indicate there is no established line of research or strong connections
between the themes. This shows the existing variety of research on the term equity. Thus, the trend
in research on the term equity is focused on the early periods of study on the students’ diversity
in order to evolve to more concrete and specific aspects of equity, such as gender and race. It is
concluded that the theoretical framework of reference shows how equity should be incorporated into
the education system under the parameters of equal opportunities, of equality in access to higher
education, regardless of gender or socio-cultural background.
