It is considered as indicators of inputs the number of students and professors doctors bound by Graduate Programs, extracted from the GeoCapes system, and as output, scientific publications in Brazil indexed in the international database Web of Science. It was examined the period 2004-2012, with study focus focusing on the case of Brazilian federal universities.
