You may need google.
If you want, you could try to figure out the next 17 numbers.

Answer
13The numbers represent how many dots and dashes (respectively) are in each Morse code letter of the alphabet. So A = dot-dash (1 dot, 1 dash = 11), B = dash-dot-dot-dot (3 dots, 1 dash = 31), etc. I ended on I = dot-dot (2 dots, no dashes = 20) so next is J = dot-dash-dash-dash (1 dot, 3 dashes = 13). Here is the rest of the series if you want it:
12, 31, 02, 11, 03, 22, 13, 21, 30, 01, 21, 31, 12, 22, 13, 22
