This paper analyses the scientific production in Economics in Spain through the use of bibliometric indicators, which have been constructed from a data base of 6 Spanish journals. Our results show that there are clear differences with respect to the results reported by García et al. (1999), who carried out their study considering a sample of 55 intemational journals. The comparisons of these two papers is such that we can appreciate the existence of two different markets in Economics research in Spain, namely the national market and the international marktet.
 
Keywords: scientific production, bibliometric indicators, national ranking.
JEL classification: A11, A13.
