Abstract
.This conclusion arises as a consequence of an analysis and an adequate evaluation of the data and achieved results. However, it may certainly give occasion for a brief discussion on the model of scientific knowledge production in which we, researchers, currently operate.The postmodern university enters the world of consump -tion, in which knowledge becomes a product, students are treated as equivalent to commodities, and the evalua-tion criteria must comply with the metrics of the market. Simultaneously, there is a process of classifying researchers in productive (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2) and unproductive (3?), which has gripped the imagination of the university com-munity, influencing personal decisions and policies in the sector. This scenario suggests that universities and research -ers from developing countries must necessarily align with external criteria, supposedly global, which may not be the most suitable for Brazil or the world

This conclusion arises as a consequence of an analysis and an adequate evaluation of the data and achieved results
There is a process of classifying researchers in productive (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2) and unproductive (3?), which has gripped the imagination of the university community, influencing personal decisions and policies in the sector. This scenario suggests that universities and researchers from developing countries must necessarily align with external criteria, supposedly global, which may not be the most suitable for Brazil or the world(2)
The main question is: is Brazilian science the best possible for Brazil and for the world? Can we provide an overcoming alternative, capable of modifying the central hegemonic model of knowledge production, to resubmit it to international forums, plus a local relevance bias and with universally recognized quality?
Summary
This conclusion arises as a consequence of an analysis and an adequate evaluation of the data and achieved results. The postmodern university enters the world of consumption, in which knowledge becomes a product, students are treated as equivalent to commodities, and the evaluation criteria must comply with the metrics of the market. This scenario suggests that universities and researchers from developing countries must necessarily align with external criteria, supposedly global, which may not be the most suitable for Brazil or the world(2).
