abstract = {Reference thresholds for the scientifi c production and impact of internationally 
visible Spanish research within the areas defi ned by the Spanish National Agency for 
Evaluation and Prospective (ANEP) are presented. These percentile reference tables 
are constructed from the population of researchers who applied for a project within 
Spain’s National R & D Plan 2007 (n = 3.356) and are to serve as benchmarks, permitting 
comparisons between researchers’ bibliometric behavior and mean performance in 
their respective scientifi c disciplines. Data relating to mean production, impact and 
visibility for each ANEP area are also presented. The internationalization of these areas 
between 2000 and 2006 is discussed, with special emphasis on the Social Sciences. 
Finally, we suggest funding agencies and research institutions use these reference 
thresholds as assessment tools in their selection processes.},

investigación española con visibilidad internacional para las áreas defi nidas por la
Agencia Nacional de Evaluación y Prospectiva (ANEP) en sus convocatorias. Tomando
como población los solicitantes de proyectos del Plan Nacional de I + D 2007 (n = 3.356)
se construyen tablas de referencia por percentiles que funcionan a modo de benchmarks,
permitiendo efectuar comparaciones entre el comportamiento bibliométrico de un
investigador y los registros de referencia en su área científi ca. Igualmente se ofrecen
los datos de producción, impacto y visibilidad promedios para las áreas ANEP, y se
discute el proceso de internacionalización de dichas áreas en el período 2000-2006,},
