The current scale of human intervention in ecosystem dynamics, especially in rural areas, has been altering the flow of benefits provided by water. Payment for Environmental Services (PES) programs have stimulated behavioral changes by financially compensating rural landowners in exchange for ensuring the provision of environmental services. Thus, through a bibliometric research, we sought to survey the Brazilian publications that address the issue of PES and the conservation of water resources in rural areas, using the Open Access database Google Scholar, the social network ResearchGate and Portal de Periódicos da CAPES. The research is classified as exploratory and descriptive, with quantitative documentary analysis. PES are increasingly occupying more space in the Brazilian environmental agenda for being able to maintain the relationship between society and nature in balance, making it essential to disseminate this learning process in the most varied data sources as a way to popularize science, expand the scope of research, inspire new initiatives and mobilize decision-makers to strengthen this important public policy. Despite the limitations of Google Scholar and ResearchGate, both platforms are useful to give visibility and expand the reach of scientific publications related to environmental issues.
