The scenario involving the Brazilian Higher Education, marked by strong expansion of Higher Education Institutions (IES) aiming to increase the supply of undergraduate. The almost exclusive focus on teaching activity, makes the research activity, even being legal requirement, is relegated to the background in order, which ends up discouraging the professors' academic production at the undergraduate. This paper is aims to present and discuss the perceptions about of professors' academic production, as well as their influencing factors in the context of campus undergraduate teaching brazilian IES. To achieve the proposed goals, starting by referential theoretical on issues involving academic research, their environment and their conditions, was performed out a field study with higher education professors, creating a random sample and heterogeneous profile with respondents from all regions Brazilian, including public and private IES, through structured questionnaire online. In the presentation and analysis of results, we sought a comprehensive understanding of the main issues surrounding the professors' academic production in IES. Among the most relevant points, it was evident in general: lack of clarity in policies and actions to stimulate research and academic production by the IES; and difficulty in organizing the time to the research, which indicates that simply increasing the workload for this purpose may not have any effect. Thus, the study results can enrich the discussions on the subject and provide subsidies that can contribute to the IES that want to improve the professors' academic production.
