       In this paper we present a study about scientific production in
       Computer Science in Brazil and several other countries, as
       measured by the number of articles in journals indexed by
       ISI. We compare the Brazilian production from 2001 to 2005 with
       some Latin American, Latin European, BRIC (Brazil, Russia,
       India, China), and other relevant countries.  We also classify
       and compare these countries production according to the impact
       factor of the journals in which they were published, and
       according to each country known research and development
       investment.
       \par
       The results show that Brazil has by far the largest production
       among Latin American countries, has a production about one
       third of Spain's, one fourth of Italy's and a little larger
       than Portugal's.  The growth in Brazilian publications during
       the period places the country in the group with mid range
       growth, but regarding dollar productivity, Brazil joins the
       other BRIC countries as the ones with the lowest
       productivity. The distribution of Brazilian production
       according to impact factor is similar to most countries.
