The document analyzes Portuguese scientific output in Web of Science and Scopus databases between 2000-2010. It finds the number of articles indexed from Portuguese universities increased annually in both databases. The University of Porto, the largest university studied, had the most articles indexed. There was a tendency for greater growth in Scopus, which provides 20% more coverage of Portuguese research than Web of Science. Availability of resources through the b-on consortium likely contributed to higher research productivity at universities.
