摘要:Academic productivity, understood in this essay as a phenomenon derived from the evaluation processes of Postgraduation, is characterized by the excessive appreciation of the amount of academic production rather than its quality. Academic solidarity is understood here as a mutual commitment among researchers, who voluntarily dedicate their time to evaluate products of the activity of a Post-graduate program. Among these activities, we chose peer review as an "exemplary paradigm" of academic solidarity. This article aims to discuss the impacts of academic productivity in postgraduate programs and evaluate how it threatens academic solidarity that makes it possible. Based on the distinction between the concepts of collaboration and solidarity, made by the authors, the article alerts to the risk of academic solidarity be destroyed by academic productivity. Even if it happens, there will be no productivity without collaboration, without the silent and anonymous work of many and many reviewers that offer their time and expertise to evaluate their peers’ papers. Such collaboration, however, would be alienated without the notion of participation in a community of researchers. In short, there is not productivity without collaboration, although productivity may exist without solidarity.
