Visualización y análisis de la estructura científica española: ISI Web of science 1990-2005

Abstract
This article presents the structure of Spanish science from 1990 to 2005. Based on ISI subject-category co-ci- tation, including natural sciences, social sciences and arts & humanities, and combining both social network analysis (SNA) and pruning algorithms such as pathfinder-networks (Pfnet) and other information layout algorithms like Kama- da-Kawai's, the basic structure of Spanish science is shown through its essential relations. The results are bibliomet- ric-maps (scientograms) revealing the macrostructure, microstructure and the backbone of Spanish science and making possible its analysis and explanation.
