In 1993 a first study on the scientific production of Spain in 1986-1989 on Biomedicine and Health Sciences, through the Science Citation Index (SCI) was published. The analysis attained the level of centres, with special emphasis in those related to the Health Care System. This paper analyses the period 1990-1993, offers a wider coverage including the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) database, and compares both time periods.
Documents indexed by SCI and SSCI, CD-ROM version, with at least one Spanish address, published in biomedical and medical journals during the years 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993, have been studied. Quantitative and qualitative bibliometric indicators for the analysis by subject matter, geographic distribution, institutional sector and centre of origin have been used. Global data were also analysed according to economic and human resources.
A total of 21,434 documents were studied, of which 67.9% were journal articles. The highest contributors were Universities (48.8% of the documents) and Hospitals (45.3%). The autonomous communities of Madrid (31.9%) and Catalonia (26.9%) concentrate more than half the production-developed principally by hospitals-followed by Andalucía (11.7%) and C. Valenciana (7.8%). The most active disciplines were biochemistry/molecular biology (13%), neurosciences/neurology (8.4%), pharmacology/pharmacy (8.4%) and medicine, general/internal (7.9%). Comparing the results with period 1986-1989, some of the differences observed could be explained by the fact of MEDICINA CLINICA being included in SCI since 1992. An increase in the number of citable items (72.9%), number of journals used (from 1,086 to 1,346) and international cooperation rate (13.5% to 18.3%) was detected. The institutional sectors with the highest growth rate were Hospitals (92.9%) and Consejo Superior de investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC) (119.3%). Scientific production and visibility of publications (measured as impact factor of journals used) grew in most disciplines, being the quantitative increase greater in cancer/oncology, gastroenterology/hepatology, genetics/heredity and cardiovascular system. No substantial changes as to geographic distribution of documents or most active centres were observed.
Spanish scientific activity grew steadily every year and its visibility improved, being the Health sector one of the main actors. When comparing both four-year period. Spain moved up from the seventh to the sixth position in the ranking of EU countries according to its scientific output in biomedicine and health sciences.
1993年发表了第一项关于西班牙1986 - 1989年生物医学与健康科学领域科研产出的研究，该研究通过科学引文索引（SCI）进行。分析达到了中心层面，特别强调了与医疗保健系统相关的中心。本文分析了1990 - 1993年这一时期，涵盖范围更广，包括社会科学引文索引（SSCI）数据库，并对两个时期进行了比较。
研究了1990年、1991年、1992年和1993年期间发表在生物医学和医学期刊上、由SCI和SSCI光盘版索引且至少有一个西班牙地址的文献。使用了按主题、地理分布、机构部门和起源中心进行分析的定量和定性文献计量指标。还根据经济和人力资源对总体数据进行了分析。
共研究了21434篇文献，其中67.9%为期刊文章。贡献最大的是大学（占文献的48.8%）和医院（占45.3%）。马德里自治区（31.9%）和加泰罗尼亚自治区（26.9%）集中了一半以上的产出——主要由医院完成——其次是安达卢西亚（11.7%）和巴伦西亚自治区（7.8%）。最活跃的学科是生物化学/分子生物学（13%）、神经科学/神经病学（8.4%）、药理学/药剂学（8.4%）和普通/内科医学（7.9%）。将结果与1986 - 1989年期间进行比较，观察到的一些差异可以用自1992年以来《临床医学》被纳入SCI这一事实来解释。可引用项目数量增加了72.9%，使用的期刊数量从1086种增加到1346种，国际合作率从13.5%提高到18.3%。增长率最高的机构部门是医院（92.9%）和科学研究高级理事会（CSIC）（119.3%）。大多数学科的科研产出和出版物的可见度（以所使用期刊的影响因子衡量）都有所增长，在癌症/肿瘤学、胃肠病学/肝病学、遗传学/遗传和心血管系统方面的定量增长更大。在文献的地理分布或最活跃的中心方面未观察到实质性变化。
西班牙的科研活动逐年稳步增长，其可见度有所提高——卫生部门是主要参与者之一。在比较这两个四年期时，根据其在生物医学和健康科学领域的科研产出，西班牙在欧盟国家排名中从第七位升至第六位。
