The growing adoption of computational tools by scientists in their work processes is a widely reported phenomenon, especially in publications proposing new systems for this purpose. However, studies addressing numerically this trend and the spread relative to the total surveys are less common. This article describes a quantitative survey of the use of computing in research activities of some Brazilian universities. We present, by field of knowledge, the coverage relative to the total amount of research projects as well as evolution over the years.
