What you measure is what you get! intellectual capital and Bibliometry research in Portugal research units

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between Intellectual Capital (IC) and the evaluation of the Portuguese Research Units (RU) given by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). In particular the aim is to argue that in these Research Units, the evaluations of IC is related to financial support (FS) and bibliometric indicators (BI). The article tests the BI/FS relationship at the Research Units in Portugal, by surveying the inputs products of full time researchers members. The survey addresses, in particular, the financial support given by Portuguese FCT to Researcher Units measured by bibliometry. The results suggest that RU evaluations are indeed related to thematic scientific area and not with IC. The survey addresses, in particular, the factors that promote the RU evaluations and their perception, like bibliometric indicators as input products, of IC in ours Universities.
