ABSTRACT:       This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the
scientific production in the food science and technology (EST) field for
the period 1991-2000, in Iberian-America (IA). Eight selected IA
countries contributed 97.6% of the IA production and accounted for a 6.6%
of the world production. The most frequent document type is journal
article published in English. Retrieved records display characteristical
authorship patterns and preferred subject areas. Spain, Brazil, Mexico,
Argentina and Portugal determine the IA pattern of sources of
publication. The fifty top ranked journals, 80% of which were indexed by
the SCIE, encompass two-thirds of the IA production.
