Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To analyze Spanish scientific productivity from 1999 
through 2003 in the area of smoking research, in comparison with world and 
European Union research, based on data in the Science Citation (SCI) Index.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This bibliometric study was carried out by searching 
the title field of the Science Citation Index Expanded. Descriptive 
statistics with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were compiled
.
RESULTS: Two-hundred ninety-two documents on smoking by Spanish authors 
were located. The most productive subspecialties; were the group comprised 
of public health, education and health economics with 57 articles, and 
areas of the respiratory system, experimental research, and internal 
medicine with 36 articles each. The journals that published the largest 
number of articles located were Medicina Clinica, with 35 articles (12%) 
and Archivos de Bronconeumologia with 20 (6.8%). International 
collaboration was undertaken with institutions in the United States of 
America and other European Union countries. The mean (SD) number of 
citations received was 5.12 (8.6) (range 59-0). Spain contributed 8.34% of 
the SCI-indexed smoking research overall and 12.85% of SCI-indexed smoking 
research from the European Union.

CONCLUSIONS: Smoking research is developing appropriately in Spain and has 
high impact, even though output is modest. Factors associated with 
increased citation are international collaboration, language (being 
written in English), and having a non-Spanish first author.
