The present study is part of the lines of research that investigate stimuli equivalence. The major aim was to characterize the research on stimuli equivalence produced in Brazil, and published between 1997 and 2007. The sources of bibliographical material consisted of abstracts from: journal articles; presentations in two conventions of the Psychology area; dissertations and theses. Six hundred and fifty five abstracts about the theme were found. The majority of these studies (516) was conducted with humans, and 253 focused on educational issues.
