CASTRO, Helena    BRANDAO, Tiago. A Historical Perspective on the Profession of Researcher in Portugal - A Case Study. []. , 127, pp.69-92.   30--2022. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.12843.

This article deals with how the profession of an academic researcher is viewed from a historical standpoint. Its narrative takes up the history of the legal professional status of academic researchers in Portugal, a status that depends greatly on Research and Development (R&D) funding flow. This historical perspective depicts how the legacy of the scientific system was built on unique circumstances, in many instances linked to a conservative institutional framework rooted in Portuguese universities and state laboratories. This has contributed to creating a gap that keeps researchers away from civil society and the private sector, causing losses for all parties and for the country as a whole.
