This paper analyzes the production indicators for the period 2000-2020 of the Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy, an institution that researches and applies knowledge of ionizing radiation. The research institute published an average of one article per year between 1984 and 2000. During the period 2001 to 2006, some policies were applied. Staff salaries were tripled, allowing the incorporation of researchers with experience in scientific research. The number of publications increased from 01 in 2001 to 15 in 2007 as a result of intense work done in 2006. These policies were ignored in 2007 with a significant change in research productivity in years to come. Finally, an overall analysis determines that: (a) management actions are different from manager director to manager director and the changes substantially affect research productivity, (b) the policy that increases researcher salary may be more detrimental than reducing the total annual budget for research since by increasing the researcher salary is still possible to preserve research indicator trends.
