This paper aims to analyses the altmetric performance of Brazilian publications authored by researchers who are holders of productivity scholarship (PQ) of the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). The scope of this research assesses the PQs in activity on October, 2017 (n = 14.609). The collection of scientific production registered on Lattes was conducted via GetLattesData and filtered by articles from academic journals published between 2016 and October 2017 that hold the Digital Object Identifier (n = 99064). The online attention data are analyzed according to their distribution by density and variation; language of the publication and field of knowledge; and by average performance of the type of source that has provided its altmetric values. The result show long tail behavior of the altmetric score, with most part of the articles with no online attention, while few articles have a high index. The average of the online attention indicates a better performance of articles written in English and belonging to the Health and Biological Sciences field of knowledge. As for the sources, there was a good performance from Mendeley followed by Twitter.
