The aim of this bibliometric study is to find out the state of Spanish research in the field of transplantation at the national and, specially, international level. Documents published from 1990-1996 by Spanish researchers were collected from IME, SCI and Medline databases. Two different indexes were calculated: the Gain in Competitiveness and the Activity Index, which compare both the Spanish research versus world production, and versus high productive countries. Information use was studied using the analysis of references from the articles by Spanish researchers, their half-life and Price's Index. The results show that research in the Transplantation field is in a period of expansion world-wide. Big differences exist between Spanish production and the production of those countries that may be considered as big producers, but the overall conclusion is positive.
