Collected the data from Notebooks of Bibliographic Production of PGP on area as a documental strategy. Also, was used bibliometrics as technique of information analysis to the elaboration of Bibliometrics Indicators with the support of Software VantagePoint. As results was elaborated and reviewed the indicators of scientific production from PGP: collaboration between the PGP, the evolution of publications, the representativeness of PGP, ranking of periodic and main areas of knowledge. It concludes that the Indicators Notebooks by CAPES consolidate a national source of information, public and with easy access of scientific production national that enables the construction of suitable indicators to decision making process ordering improvement of PGP and the public politics of C&T.
