We analyzed the evolution of the number of completed projects and their financial impact to the subunits of research and their effect on the academic career of the project coordinators. It was found that the database is of fundamental importance for both the university management and the academic leadership, and that, therefore, a dissemination and socialization policy of the institutional scientific production should be established, aiming at the society in general.151-155porArchival perspectiveDatabasesDigital mediaDocumentary heritageInstitutional productionArtigo2-s2.0-84896741421
