Strategies to assure adequate scientific outputs by developing countries: a scientometric evaluation of Brazilian PADCT as a case study

Barreto de Castro, Luiz Antonio

The main purpose of this article is to stimulate scientists and policy makers to ask the question: How reliable are scientific investments made by developing countries on a long term basis ? Strategies to assure adequate, long term, scientific outputs by developing countries must be enforced. Our experience in Brazil and in many other developing countries, particularly in Latin America, that successful scientific initiatives may be discontinued for non scientific reasons. Strategies in Brazil are discussed, as well as the results of a scientometric evaluation of the Brazilian PADCT as a case study. The methodology applied requires the availability of data bases listing all the active scientists, for performance comparisons amongst institution and countries. Financial investments by developing countries for S&T&I are limited when compared to developed countries but must be properly evaluated. Many developing countries have in addition difficulties to maintain consistent data bases on science and technology and as consequence fail to evaluate the outputs resulting from the investments in this area. This context weakens the position of the scientific academies, when the time to present the necessary demands of science to the highest decision making level bodies in the Country is offered.
