As explained above, the research centers are true centers of production and dissemination of scientific knowledge, so its study of information sources is inexcusable. In this article the main centers of international research, global policies that articulate in science and technology. This list of centers has been obtained in turn from an indispensable source of knowledge to address these types of institutions. This is the Web Ranking Research Center that produces the magazine's Cybermetrics IECyT , former CINDOC which is also discussed below.
Research Center Directory
One of the most useful for channeling information retrieval in science and technology is precisely the use and employment of resource directories. In this case, presents a directory of research developed by the research laboratory cybermetric CSIC, organized in a systematic way of ranking the leading research centers worldwide. This directory available to the 2000 documentary references research centers around the world classified by countries, regions and continents. The ranking was made from university rankings system on the web , which uses the following job factors: 1) Size of the site, 2) Number of Documents and Research Publications, 3) Impact or visibility websites and publications.

Description: The CINDOC was created in 1991 as a result of the merger of ICYT (Institute of Science and Technology) and ISOC (Social Sciences Institute), with the aim of providing documentation services to schools Research of the CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) which also depends. Today has been undergoing a transformation and unification of resources has resulted in two super-specialized sites that distinguish the traditional lines of research in science and technology and on the other side humanities and social sciences. The objectives of IECyT the following: 1) Serve as documentary support for the research coordinated by the CSIC and harmonized policies for R & D. Research 2) To develop research projects in documentation. 3) Promote and disseminate the English scientific production. 4) Develop training for librarians, scientists and users in the use and employment of information technology.
- Research Groups:
- Group Scientific Analysis and Forecasting: His field of study focuses on technology transfer processes and scientific knowledge Scientific competitiveness of organizations and institutions of R & D, socio-economic impact of scientific research, impact of initiatives by the EU and OECD in the English public system of R & D in Biotechnology and Biomedicine.
- Quantitative Analysis Group in Science and Technology (ACUTE): specialized in the study of bibliometric indicators for the study of the evolution of science, its publications and its structure, so that they can determine their weaknesses and strengths.
