Abstract


The aim of this bibliometric study is to find out the state of Spanish research in Biomedical Genetics at the national and international level. Documents published by Spanish geneticians were collected during 1989-1995, from two different databases: MEDLINE as an international database and IME as a national one. The Gain in Competitiveness of the Spanish Genetics versus world production, as well as versus big producer countries was calculated. The use of information was studied through the analysis of references from the articles by Spanish geneticians, their half life and Price's Index. The result s obtained show that Genetics is in a period of expansion worldwide. Big differences exist between Spanish production and the production of those countries that may be considered as big producers. Nevertheless, a clear growing trend of Spanish Genetics in national and international sources was observed.
