- This Master's Thesis presents a study of technological surveillance within the framework of the research organizations in the field of biotechnology, concretely within the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC) Foundation. The main objective is to show the importance of information specialists in development of surveillance processes, based on the fact that information is the key element to starting any surveillance study. In addition, we will develop a methodological proposal and will study sources and resources of interest for this type of work. Regarding the methodology, it’s a descriptive work, based on two main axes: one theoretical, which collects and reviews studies carried out on the subject of scientific and technological surveillance, and other practical, focused on the development and implementation of a methodology that serves the concrete needs and characteristics of the CNIC Foundation. Throughout this study we developed a methodology for a system of science and technology watch in this institution, describing the phases, as well as resources and databases that we consider most relevant from the Information’s Science point of view. Then we apply this proposal to some case studies carried out in recent months in the center and present some results. This is also an example of the collaboration between the Technology Transfer Unit and the Library and Information Service. Finally, the main conclusion we highlight is that a technology watch and competitive intelligence system is a process that must be performed by a multidisciplinary and diverse group of professional, where the collaboration of the Information specialist is essential.
