  Productivity in Research (PQ) is a scholarship granted by CNPq (Brazilian
National Council for Scientific and Technological Development). This
scholarship aims to recognize a few selected faculty researchers for their
scientific production, outstanding technology and innovation in their
respective areas of knowledge. In the present study, we evaluated the
scientific production of the 185 researchers in the Computer Science area
granted with PQ scholarship in the last PQ selection notice. To evaluate the
productivity of each professor, we considered papers published in scientific
journals and conferences (complete works) in a five years period (from 2017 to
2021). We analyzed the productivity in terms of both quantity and quality. We
also evaluated its distribution over the country, universities and research
facilities, as well as, the co-authorship network produced.
