Computer scientist is defined as the faculty of a graduate level computer science department. Under this definition, there were 886 computer scientists in Brazil in November 2006. We studied the self-declared research areas, the production of journal and conference papers of these scientists, and whether they receive a recognition fellowship by one of Brazilian grant agents, and analyse the differences regarding the geo-political region in Brazil and the gender of the scientists. } }
