This research aims to present a bibliometric analysis of studies on this topic, mainly from the Latin American and Spanish perspective, from the last 10 years (2013-2023). The applied methodology is predominantly quantitative, focused on the bibliometric analysis of a sample of 487 articles published in Scopus and Web of Science, from 2013 to 2023. The software used is Bibliometrix and NVIVO 14. The main results demonstrate the increase in the impact and number of publications, as well as, the most relevant journals, authors, institutions, articles and clusters of concepts on the topic in the study period are identified. It is observed that the driving themes related to SE are: social innovation, social development, public police, entrepreneurship, among others. In research on SE, it is observed that they focus on issues related to the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations, from the local level, that is, from the active, collective and solidarity participation of the members of a community.
