This paper presents an experience of the analysis and management of scientific and technological information for directing research, development and innovation efforts in the Universidad de La Frontera. The study's objective is to identify and envision research fields in the University's scientific production appearing in published scientific research and recorded in the public financing systems. The sample includes publications and projects published between 2007 and 2011. The task of research field identification is approached through the complementary use of "Co-words Analysis"; "Expert Validation Methodology" and "Thematic Analysis of Elementary Contexts"; in conjunction with social network visualization tools. Information regarding the management of information and scientific and technological capabilities are among the study’s findings.
