Rae: Desafios Para O Futuro

Abstract

I t is an honor to be chosen as the Editor-in-chief of RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas, and I am delighted to assume responsibility for this task. I want to emphasize the great work that was done by Professor Eduardo Diniz, the Editor-in-chief of this journal for the last seven years. Considering both national and international scenarios, Eduardo introduced many changes that positioned RAE in a very good position in rankings of various quality indicators. In his editorials he debated business models in the area of scientific editing, questions of similarity and plagiarism, open access and internationalization. As a result of his consistent work RAE is currently classified as A2 in the CAPES assessment, indexed in Thomson Reuters' Journal Citation Reports® and carries publications by authors writing in Portuguese, Spanish or English. The debate about the question of the language used in the publications of Brazilian academic periodicals is controversial and this debate is still open at RAE. RAE has a printed edition for subscribers, but is available in its entirety on-line, where it receives an exceptional number of visits. RAE has a team that manages all of the editorial flow of many publications: GV-executivo, whose focus, which has been remodeled, now publishes applied research, and GVcasos, which specializes in teaching cases. The team also supports the management of the editorial processes of a further two periodicals: Journal of Operations and Supply Chain Management (JOSCM) and Cadernos Gestão Pública e Cidadania (CGPC), which are coordinated by Editors-in-chief, Juliana Bonomi Santos and Mário Aquino Alves, respectively. I learned from Professor Diniz that sharing processes in a single organizational structure is called "publishing", which accompanies all the academic tasks of the editor-in-chief of RAE, before and after publication. My sincerest thanks to the team and to Professor Diniz for organizing all these activities. Academic journals undeniably set the boundaries of a particular scientific field: what is published (and what is not) contributes towards providing direction for that which is understood by the word "academia", and the scientific production in administration has been both theoretically and methodologically challenged. This question is debated internationally, but it gains more dramatic nuances when dealing with the national scenario. This, however, should not discourage us; on the contrary, it makes the role of the Brazilian scientific community even more challenging. Postgraduate programs have a relevant role to play in the production of knowledge and journals have an essential function in its dissemination. Since it was created in 1961, RAE's story in this process has been respectable and includes various voices that have been present throughout its existence. The successful course followed by the journal is due to the support it receives from Fundação Getulio

Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia: Produção Acadêmica de 2002 a 2015

“…Em outras palavras, é notório que periódicos acadêmicos abalizam os contornos de um campo do saber científico, enfatizando o que é publicado (e o que não é publicado) contribuindo para dar o norte àquilo que se entende e compreende por academia (TONELLI, 2016).…”

Revista Ibero-americana de estratégia: produção acadêmica de 2002 a 2015

“…Em ato continuo contempla-se que as revistas acadêmicas têm um papel basilar na concretização de determinado campo do saber científico, tendo em vista que são meios de comunicação primordial para a divulgação e a difusão dos resultados de estudos acadêmicos (KNEIPP et al, 2013). Em outras palavras, é notório que periódicos acadêmicos abalizam os contornos de um campo do saber científico, enfatizando o que é publicado (e o que não é publicado) contribuindo para dar o norte àquilo que se entende e compreende por academia (TONELLI, 2016).…”
