In this work, we analyzed the scientific bibliographic productivity of the Faculdade Ciências e Letras deAssis, Universidade Estadual Paulista (FCLAs-UNESP). We evaluated the scientific productivity of Professors using data retrieved from the Lattes Plataform database (Curriculum Lattes), ISI Web of Scienceand SCOPUS, books published, chapter of the books published and academic advisory (Master’s Thesis and Ph.D. Thesis). Bibliometric evaluations of departments showed a better performance of the totalnumber of papers (indexed in Curriculum Lattes database) by Literature Department (P < 0.05) whencompared to Modern Languages Department. The Biological Sciences Department had means higher ofthe papers indexed by SCOPUS (P < 0.05) and ISI (P < 0.05) when compared to others departments. Wealso observed that the low h-indexes (P< 0,05) in the humanities areas is result of traditional mode ofcommunication in this area of knowledge, which makes more use of books and proceedings of meetings when compared to natural sciences. These publications are not covered by ISI and SCOPUS. Thegraduate programs in History and Languages presented means higher of academic advisory (Master’sThesis and Ph.D. Thesis) because are graduate programs consolidated in the 1970’s.
