This longitudinal study concerns the analysis of 347 doctoral theses on scientific medical information retrieved from the TESEO database and defended in Spanish universities from 1977 to 2018. At the same time, it considers other factors, such as the geographical scope distinguishing between dissertations defended in the Spanish region of Levante and in the rest of Spain, and discusses the gender of the authors and whether the general scientometric topic is eminently bibliometric or just related to the computerisation process. The longitudinal global finding is a bimodal trend rejecting the Price model of science growth. Our study reveals that this production came initially from the universities located in the Spanish Levante. Despite the recent increase of theses covering computerisation topics, the theses on scientific medical information are mostly bibliometric. In addition, men were more productive than women but no statistically significant differences in the quantity and in the longitudinal trends according to the authors’ gender were observed. Nevertheless, women show a growing lineal pattern. An overall conclusion that could be inferred is that the prestige gained by the Spanish scientific medical information is the result, to a considerable extent, of the remarkable efforts performed by its researchers.

西班牙科学医学信息博士论文中的纵向模式：第三项研究

本纵向研究涉及对 1977 年至 2018 年从 TESEO 数据库中检索并在西班牙大学进行答辩的 347 篇关于科学医学信息的博士论文的分析。同时，它还考虑了其​​他因素，例如区分在西班牙大学进行答辩的论文的地理范围。西班牙莱万特地区和西班牙其他地区，并讨论了作者的性别以及一般科学计量主题是突出的文献计量学还是仅与计算机化过程相关。纵向全球发现是拒绝科学增长的价格模型的双峰趋势。我们的研究表明，这种制作最初来自位于西班牙莱万特的大学。尽管最近涉及计算机化主题的论文有所增加，关于科学医学信息的论文大多是文献计量学。此外，男性的生产力高于女性，但根据作者的性别，在数量和纵向趋势方面没有观察到统计学上的显着差异。然而，女性表现出越来越多的线性模式。可以推断出的总体结论是，西班牙科学医学信息所获得的声望在很大程度上是其研究人员做出的非凡努力的结果。
