There are currently four active research groups, which are integrated by our Department members. These groups have been endorsed by the University Carlos III program for research groups ("Programa de creación y consolidación de grupos de investigación de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid") and are included in the general UC3M research groups catalog.

Each group specializes in one or more of the LIS discipline, such as: Information Analysis and Information Management, Information Literacy, Bibliometrics, and Information Technologies.
