Spain's economy recorded a high rate of growth from the mid-1990s onwards. At the same time, the resources allocated to Research and Development (R&D) grew at a much faster pace than in other European Union (EU) countries. Spain's growth recorded an average rate of 2.93% from the early 1990s to 2004. Over the same period, the average growth in the EU was 0.46%. This circumstance, together with several sound policy decisions implemented between 2004 and 2009, ushered in a "golden age of Spanish biotechnology". In terms of the national patent licenses issued by the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) between 2004 and 2009, the number in biotechnology grew from 84 to 151. However, the current economic situation in Spain, along with a series of political decisions taken over the past two or three years to cut spending on R&D, predicts a sharp downturn in the performance of Spanish biotechnology. This scenario makes Spain one of the best places to study the successes and failures of the management of science and allows transfer this experience to the other international regions. We need to analyze the influence of political decisions as a major factor with a bearing on the quality of science.Using patents as an indicator of scientific development, this paper analyzes the evolution of the biotechnology sector in Spain and its relationship with scientific policy and the management of R&D.

“…To some extents, the policy, including the law and regulation in these countries could be a decisive cause restricting the progress of stem cell research [GUENIN, 2005]. Distribution of source title analysis RODRÍGUEZ & MOREIRO [1996] primarily assess the growth and development of research by the dissertation title analysis. They used the length and key words per title to compare the complexity of title between countries.…”

“…RIVERA [2003], for example, tracked the growth of the 'ecosystem' paradigm in the United States and Europe by analyzing the contents of ecology textbooks. RODRIGUEZ & MOREIRO [1996] analyzed the growth of the field and its increasing complexity in Spain and five Spanish speaking Caribbean countries through an analysis of ecology dissertations. DUARTE [1999] examined the growth of the field of seagrass ecology and explicitly explored the areas within the field that were expanding and changing.…”

We utilize the bibliometric tool of co-word analysis to identify trends in the methods and subjects of ecology during the period 1970-2005. Few previous co-word analyses have attempted to analyze fields as large as ecology. We utilize a method of isolating concepts and methods in large datasets that undergo the most significant upward and downward trends. Our analysis identifies policy-relevant trends in the field of ecology, a discipline that helps to identify and frame many contemporary policy problems. The results provide a new foundation for exploring the relations among public policies, technological change, and the evolution of science priorities.
