The present paper evaluates the scientific production by researchers and Post-Graduation faculty as well as part of the scientific output by Post-Graduation students in the realm of Collective Health, for the biennial 1994/5. It discusses also the specificities of the different subareas, e.g. Human Sciences; Epidemiology; Planning & Administration applied to Health concerning the nature of scientific output, authorship and media employed in the diffusion of the knowledge. The analysis employed basically the data summarized by a Brazilian Post-Graduation Agency (CAPES), the EXECAPES database, plus three complementary items: Scientific reports to funding agencies; presentations in Congresses and "in press" publications. Emergent areas of knowledge in the realm of Collective Health were also addressed, and a preliminary quantification of them was sketched.
