This article aims to analyse the participation of Ibero-American (Spanish and Portuguese speaking) countries in the international scientific literature, as well as its evolution, its collaboration with non Ibero-American scientists and institutions, with an emphasis on the role of Spain in the Ibero-America scientific scenario. During the period of time that was considered, Brazil has participated in 45% of the total Ibero-American publications, with a continuous increasing growth: since 2007 this participation raised to above 50%. The most productive institution is the University of Sao Paulo. As expected, scientists from the United States are the most commonly found as co-authors in publications with Ibero-American authors (13%), followed by those from Spain, France and the United Kingdom. Similarly, the non-Ibero-American organization with the highest presence is the University of California, followed by the Spanish Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. It is also remarkable that some of the most cited publications of Ibero- American co-authors have scientists from Spain as corresponding authors.
