This bibliometric study analyzes the dimensions of internationalization of Brazilian scientific output in the field of High Energy Physics (HEP) from articles published in journals indexed by Web of Science (WoS) in the 1983-2013 period. Based on the classification proposed by the Manual of Santiago from Red de Indicadores de Ciencia y Tecnologia Iberoamericana e Interamericana (RICYT),internationalization of Brazil in HEP is estimated by Diffusion Indicators, Collaboration and International Impact. Diffusion International indicators show a preference for publishing in foreign journals using English language. All of the analyzed articles were published in 35 journals from 11 different countries.
