As an introduction, examines the episode of the unproductive list, which ocurred at USP in 1988, trying to point out some trends of the debate on evaluation at the time. It then presents, in general, ideas that constitute the productivist ideology and examines its implications in the construction of a national evaluation system in Brazil. Finally, consider the effects of this system in academic work, taking as reference publication requirements in the evaluation process.
