作者提出了在微观一级进行文献计量分析的一般方法。它结合了若干指标，分为三个因素或层面，这些因素或层面表征了科学绩效的不同方面。根据科学家在每个方面的研究表现，描述了他们的不同概况或“类别”。一系列的结果的基础上，从应用这种方法的研究，西班牙国家研究理事会的科学家在西班牙的三个专题领域的研究结果。特别强调从结构和文献计量学的角度识别和描述顶尖科学家。分析了年龄对不同类别科学家的生产力和影响力的影响。本文提出的分类方法可以证明是一个有用的工具，在个人层面上的研究评估和探索研究成功的潜在决定因素。
The authors set forth a general methodology for conducting bibliometric analyses at the micro level. It combines several indicators grouped into three factors or dimensions, which characterize different aspects of scientific performance. Different profiles or "classes" of scientists are described according to their research performance in each dimension. A series of results based on the findings from the application of this methodology to the study of Spanish National Research Council scientists in Spain in three thematic areas are presented. Special emphasis is made on the identification and description of top scientists from structural and bibliometric perspectives. The effects of age on the productivity and impact of the different classes of scientists are analyzed. The classificatory approach proposed herein may prove a useful tool in support of research assessment at the individual level and for exploring potential determinants of research success.
