摘要:The influence of the international circumstances on the evolution and the process of research maturation in elementary particle physics in Mexico is identified. For this purpose a bibliometric study of the scientific production and impact, as well as the human resources involved have been employed. The study is conformed in the following three information sources: (1) an international information system specialized in the area of High Energy Physic (SLAC-SPIRES-HEP); (2) the Latin American Catalogs of Programs and Human Resources in Physics 1985-2001; and (3) a database locally developed about the production and impact of Physics in Mexico, during the period 1971-2000. Big science research has given place to a new organizational structure of the FMPE and a new dynamic of growing resources and products. This was quantified in the present work in terms of input and output bibliometric indicators, mainly to the increase of human resources, research programs and groups; and in the increment of the production and scientific output.
