Some aspects of hyperon polarization phenomena in inclusive production in several high energy collision processes are reviewed. We concentrate on ways to achieve an accurate determination of the unpolarized and polarized fragmentation functions of a quark into a [Formula: see text]. A possible extension to the production of the other hyperons (Σ±,0, Ξ-,0), will be also briefly discussed.
