National systems of higher education are diversified and complex, which creates conditions for the production of research and knowledge that have varying degrees of repercussion. This article presents the construction of a form of analyzing the relationship between institutional diversity and research activity. Upon finding distinctive characteristics among institutions of the same nature, the paper contributes to knowledge of the higher education system. It uses the Weberian method of analysis of ideal-type, without, however, proposing models for classifying the real institutions, or the ideal models to be achieved.

Keywords : Educational Research; Higher Education; Universities and Colleges.
