Crisóstomo Martínez was a part of the Spanish scientific revolution known as Novator, which began in the last third of the seventeenth century. Novatores aimed to reunite Spanish scientists with modern European science after counter-reformists interrupted scientific communications with Europe during the sixteenth century.

Martínez was also a microscopist and made important contributions to the field of osteology through his description of the texture of bones with a focus on bone marrow.
