- . The documentary processing of the information on Research in Catalonia. The evaluation of the Research, Development and Innovation (R+D+I) activities in a country are a necessity. In a postindustrial society, science and the technology constitute a determining factor for the well-being of any community. In front of the economic globalization, the developed countries are forced to replace the force of the manual labor (less expensive in the poorest countries) by products with a high added value technological level. This process implies the existence of a research system and a solid and competitive development, with good researchers, enough infrastructures and equipments, demanding financing and suitable results. The example of countries like Finland or, in smaller scale, as Ireland demonstrates the high potentialities of models based on a clear bet on the R+D+I. The amount of economic, human resources and infrastructure invested demands the examination and the observation of the yield obtained according to parameters accredited internationally. The strengths and weaknesses can be identified with the purpose of improving all the scientific structure and situate it strategically within a very demanding international context. In addition, the availability of trustworthy and precise data allows the scientific community to publish its activities, to fix the priorities, to improve the efficiency and to demand a greater implication of politicians in charge, and the society in general. A precise knowledge of the situation facilitates the decision making. With this purpose, the Institut d'Estudis Catalans has impelled the design and the creation of a Catalonia's Research Observatory with the active participation of information scientists. The present article tries to describe the work developed and the objectives facing the future, as well as vindicating the paper of the information science (Documentation) whereas the discipline that allows to select, to analyze, to organize, to recover and to spread the existing information on the R+D+I generated in a certain territory with rigorous and trustworthy criteria.
