Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the design of a study for the international dissemination of the research trends of Spanish psychology during the last decade (1989-1998). For this purpose, the international databases MEDLINE, PsycLIT, and ERIC were used, as well as some national databases such as ISBN and PSICODOC98. In addition, letters requesting ratification or rectification of the data were sent to 1,395 faculty members who had tenure at that time in Spain. Data about the specific context of the psychology faculties and the more general context of the Spanish university are also provided. The concrete results of the research trends of the different areas are analyzed in detail in the articles of this special issue.

Se presenta aquí el diseño de un trabajo que pretende dar a conocer internacionalmente las líneas de investigación de la psicología española de los últimos 10 años (1989-1998). Se han manejado para ello las bases de datos internacionales MEDLINE, PsycLIT y ERIC, junto con algunas de ámbito nacional como la del ISBN y la PSICODOC98. Además, se han enviado cartas de ratificación o rectificación de lo obtenido a los 1.395 profesores universitarios numerarios existentes en esos momentos en España. Se recogen aquí, igualmente, datos tanto del contexto específico de las facultades de psicología como del contexto más general de la universidad española. Los resultados concretos de las líneas de investigación en función de las distintas áreas de conocimiento aparecen analizados pormenorizadamente en los distintos artículos de este monográfico.
