Yes. Research output of universities is determined primarily by the number and quality of your Publications, the number of Patents you registered, the number of Prototypes you built and the number of higher-degree students you successfully supervised.

Not all research has viable outputs and production. In the case of these practical outputs, financial, institutional and sometimes political support is needed to achieve practical production. I believe that the positive face of the question is clear in developed countries, while the negative side is found in developing countries.
Research requirements depend on academic discipline. For example, a musician with a terminal degree is expected to perform, not to publish. An artist achieves peer review by juried art shows.
You may say that these kinds of academics are not "scientists" in spite of their PhDs, but I suggest to you that they are examples of production outweighing publication among certain academics.
