In a context of increasingly limited resources, the demand for information from research funding bodies is growing. The exploitation of the funding acknowledgements collected in WoS publications can be useful for these sponsors, not only because it allows them to know the published results with their financial support, but also because it provides a framework to evaluate the efficiency of the different funding instruments. The present work adds to the knowledge of previous studies to offer a simple and efficient methodology that automatically identifies major sponsors, and their funded research, using keywords. To this end, articles with Spain in the address field and English in the language field are obtained (years 2010 2014), given that WoS only considers funding acknowledgements written in English. Subsequently, the Funding Agency (FA) field of these articles is treated, selecting funders' variants that will serve as keywords in the FTS (Full Text Search) for the location of the research supported by major sponsors. In addition, a sample of reviewed documents is provided to evaluate the reliability of the proposed methodology, performing also some statistical tests. The results show a recall of 91.5% of the sample articles, with a precision of 99%. Notwithstanding, there are differences in the automatic identification of funders by institutional sector and/or area, being the Government sector the one with the highest precision and recall, and the area of Agriculture, Biology & Environment the one with the best degree of association between the automatic classification and the reviewed one. Finally, possible future developments are offered, paying special attention to increasing the automation of the standardisation of funders' names. ; This work is supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (Grant CSO2014-57826 P and predoctoral contract BES-2015-073537). ; Peer reviewed

Spanish scientific production in Biotechnology, one of the priority areas of the Spanish National Plan for Research and Development 2000-2003, is analysed during the years 1994-1999. Several quantitative indicators are used to analyse the production in life science disciplines related to biotechnological processes. Evolution over time and the geographic and institutional distribution of documents are obtained. Semi-qualitative indicators (impact factor, basic/applied character of research) are introduced to complement the study as well as several measures of knowledge flow. At the micro level, the main actors involved and their research and collaborative profiles are analysed by means of indicators of specialisation (activity index) and indicators of visibility (relative impact factor and percentage of publications in multidisciplinary journals). Finally, the Spanish production is studied in the context of the European Union. ; Se analiza mediante indicadores bibliométricos la producción científica española del periodo 1994-1999 en el área de Biotecnología, que es una de las áreas prioritarias del Plan Nacional de Investigación Científica y Desarrollo Tecnológico 2000-2003 vigente en España. Se emplean indicadores cuantitativos de producción en las disciplinas de ciencias de la vida relacionadas con los procesos biotecnológicos y se analiza la evolución temporal, distribución geográfica y procedencia institucional de los documentos. Se introducen como complemento una serie de indicadores semi-cualitativos (factor de impacto medio, tipo de investigación básico/clínico) y medidas del flujo de conocimiento. Se desciende al nivel micro para identificar los actores más relevantes, sus perfiles de investigación y de colaboración, empleándose indicadores relativos de especialización (índice de actividad) y de visibilidad (factor de impacto relativo y publicaciones en revistas multidisciplinares). Finalmente, se sitúa la producción de España en el contexto de la Unión Europea de los quince.
