    Ante la necesidad en Cienciometría de superar la clasificación de la producción científica basada en la clasificación de las revistas donde se publica, muchos han sido los intentos de clasificar los papers directamente, sin embargo, poco se ha podido hacer para comprobar la fiabilidad de los resultados obtenidos. En este trabajo se ha generado una colección de publicaciones formada por 13449 papers recogidos en la base de datos Scopus, clasificados fraccionariamente por sus research guarantor utilizando el propio esquema ASJC de Scopus que hemos denominado Author’s Assignation Collection (AAC). En el paper se describe la metodología seguida, se evalúa la representatividad de la colección obtenida y se compara con la clasificación basada en revistas. Llama la atención el gran número de papers a los que sus research guarantors han asignado más de una categoría (a veces incluso con el mismo peso) y el gran número de veces que los autores han asignado categorías que no estaban asignadas a las revistas en las que se ha publicado el paper.

    Given the need in Scientometrics to get beyond merely classifying scientific production based on the classification of the journals in which it is published, there have been many attempts to classify papers directly. Little has been done, however, to check how reliable the results are. In this work, a collection of publications was generated which we call an Author’s Assignation Collection (AAC) comprising 13449 papers referenced in the Scopus database and classified by their research guarantor with fractional weighting in terms of Scopus’s own ASJC scheme. The methodological approach taken is described, and the collection’s representativeness is evaluated and compared with the journal-based classification. There stand out both the great number of papers assigned by their research guarantors to more than one category (at times with even the same weight) and how frequently authors assigned categories which were not assigned to the journals in which their paper was published.
