Abstract
A study of the structure and scientific activity of the most productiv e Spanish research teams in two biomedical subfields, Pharmacology Bi Pharmacy and Cardiovascular System (SCI), during the period 1990-93 wa s carried out through bibliometric indicators. The teams were characte rized according to their size, production, productivity, research leve l and expected impact factor of their output, collaboration pattern an d interdisciplinarity. Main differences between both subfields were an alyzed and explained by their different clinical/basic character. The study was undertaken to identify structural or dynamic features of tea ms associated with good scientific performance.
