Competition imposes on companies constant investments to improve their processes and to offer new products to their clients. The company that quickly perceives changes in the external environment and improves its processes and products will have a competitive advantage. Understanding how the generation and dissemination of knowledge is generated, implemented or inhibited and hindered can contribute to better results for the company. Studies on the construction of knowledge began to be systematized by Cohen et al. l (1990) and were improved by Zahra et al. (2002). The dynamics of this entire process is known as Absorptive Capacity - CA that requires four steps for innovation to be implemented. Recognizing that academic studies can act as dynamizers in the process of development and distribution of knowledge, this study aimed to verify Brazilian publications on CA and geographic regions where the subject was developed. The research was conducted in May 2020 in the repository of free scientific articles from the Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library - SPELL. The sample comprised 66 articles, whose authors looked primarily at the southern region of Brazil, and showed that CA is a theme very close to innovation, dynamic capacity, intellectual capital, knowledge, internationalization and incubating companies.
