Abstract

Different sociologists of science believe that the construction of academic reputation within the scientific field is related to the ability of the researcher to reproduce the objective criteria that embody the management structure evaluation of scientific activity. In this sense, this research investigates the causal relationship between scientific and academic reputation in sociology. For this, first identified the criteria used by CNPq and CAPES to evaluate scientific output. Later, chose up two groups of sociologists, mapping to scientific production of both groups published between 2007 and 2009. Finally, we compared this production criteria CNPq and CAPES. The results revealed that the book was the least used type of publication and that over 80% of the scientific production is published in the national language. The research also concluded that the scientific production of the two groups does not meet the criteria of the reputation system of Sociology in Brazil.
