Abstract: A bibliometric analysis was performed of the scholarly production of 
the University of Malaga published during 1998-2007 in journals indexed in the 
Social Sciences Citation Index (as accessed through the Web of Science). This 
paper examines productivity and chronological distribution, national and 
international collaboration, scientific production by departments, and the 
journals in which articles were published. The results reveal a slight increase in 
productivity, as well as a slightly higher level of co-authorship (2.85) than the 
average for social sciences in Spain, along with a good level of collaboration 
with national and foreign academic institutions.
