摘要：The process of scientific internationalization in Spain is based on an analysis of the growth of scientific publications and the evolution of international collaboration in Spanish scientific papers indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded database between 1980 and 2007. The article examines science policies in Spain together with the investments in economic and human resources devoted to research, and their effects on the internationalization process. Scholarly research in Spain has become increasingly international over the last three decades. The main features of this process have been a linear growth of productivity in terms of the number of papers published per year; a progressive growth —with a dramatic increase in the 2000’s— of internationally coauthored papers, with a notable focus on European countries, although the United States remains Spain’s main collaborator country; and the hegemony of the English language for scientific publications.
