dc.description This is an author post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing) of the paper published in Scientometrics, 55, 1 (2002): 137-156. The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com [http://www.springerlink.com/content/p515337440x715wx/?p=6d5dd77638a54fab9fc56d3c6a21a4ce&pi=7]
dc.description We present some results of an evaluation of research performance of Spanish Senior University researchers in Geology. We analyse to what extent productivity of individual researchers is influenced by the level of consolidation of the team they belong to. Methodology is based on the combination of a mail survey carried out among a defined set of researchers, and a bibliometric study of their scientific output. Differences among researchers have been investigated with regard to team size and composition, patterns of publication in domestic and foreign journals, productivity, co-authorship of papers, and impact of publications. Results indicate that not belonging to a research team represents a handicap at the time of publishing in top international journals. Researchers belonging to consolidated teams are more productive than their colleagues in non-consolidated teams, and these in turn more than individuals without team. Team size does not appear to be as important for scientific productivity as the number of researchers within the team that reached a stable job position. Analysis of the impact factor of journals has not revealed differences among researchers with regard to the visibility of their papers.
dc.description RESUMEN Se presentan algunos resultados de una evaluación del rendimiento científico de investigadores de la Universidad española en el campo de la Geología. Se analiza en qué medida la productividad individual de los investigadores está influenciada por el nivel de consolidación del equipo al que pertenecen. La metodología utilizada está basada en la combinación de una encuesta postal realizada entre un grupo de investigadores, y un estudio bibliométrico de su producción científica. Se han investigado las diferencias entre investigadores en función del tamaño y composición de su equipo, sus pautas de publicación en revistas nacionales y extranjeras, su productividad, el grado de co-autoría de los artículos publicados, y el impacto de las publicaciones. Los resultados indican que la no pertenencia a un equipo de investigación supone una desventaja a la hora de publicar en revistas internacionales de prestigio. Sin embargo, la pertenencia a un equipo no consolidado no parece ser un obstáculo para publicar en dichas revistas
