Abstract
The Brazilian scientific performance (according to the Institute for Scientific Information) is the subject of this paper. The concept of National System of Innovation (NSi) underlies the analysis of the contribution that scientific performance could provide for the economic development of a Third World country. A tentative NSI "typology" is suggested to evaluate non-OECD countries. The Brazilian scientific performance is analysed and its efficiency is tested. Further this analysis investigates this performance at scientific discipline (and sub-discipline) level. The performance at scientific discipline level is the starting point to Investigate the possibilities that some Brazilian industrial sectors (Microelectronics, Software and Biotechnology) have to take advantage from existing "windows of opportunity". The conclusion of this paper conjectures that the Brazilian scientific performance is underestimated by the industrial sector.
