| Abstract
| - Spanish teams in pharmacology were identified using an in-house methodology, and the team structure and its evolution over time were analysed using bibliometric indicators. Geographical distribution of teams was rather irregular; the most productive centres hold the most teams and the largest Comparing years 1986-89 with 1990-93, a high increase in Spanish scientific production in the field was observed, together with a slight upward trend for both scientific collaboration and expected impact factor. An increase over time in the number of active authors in the field, and in the number of research teams were detected No change was observed for team size nor for inter-institutional composition of teams over time, despite both of these being objectives of Spanish science policy measures in the past few years.
