Abstract: We present a detailed bibliometric analysis of the scientific 
contributions of Manuel Cardona, who represents an interesting example of a 
renowned scientist with a long and fruitful career. His publications provide an 
appropriate basis to apply various bibliometric techniques to measure the 
impact of his scientific achievements. For this purpose, we have taken into 
account his full publication record, the institutions of all his coauthors, the 
journals where his papers have been published, and the citations of his papers 
as a measure of their impact. We have analyzed in more detail some of his most 
important publications, which appeared as journal papers and book 
contributions. Additionally, we have broken down the complete ensemble of the 
citing papers with respect to the countries of authors, the journals, and the 
subject areas. The analysis performed in this study also makes use of the 
Hirsch index as one of the most recognized bibliometric indicators which has 
rapidly captured the field of research evaluation. Finally, we have established 
the citation historiogram based on the most highly-cited papers to visualize 
their citation network. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
