“…The results obtained in the present research coincide with other studies (Olavarrieta and Villena, 2014;Olavarrieta, 2015;Ronda-Pupo, 2016;Coronado et al, 2016), which demonstrate that research in business and management in Latin America, and particularly in Chile, has developed significantly in the last 25 years. A significant increase is observed, particularly from 2010 onwards.…”

“…An important aspect to consider is the small number of business and management area journals of Latin American origin indexed in the WoS (former ISI, Institute for Scientific Information) or Scopus and the perceived quality they have. In a survey by Olavarrieta (2015), regarding the perceived quality of Latin American journals, the highest assessments were obtained by Academia (Cladea -Uniandes), RAE (Fundação Getulio Vargas), and Innovar (Universidad Nacional de Colombia). The author states that these data are accompanied by another study by Ruiz-Torres, Penkova and Villafane (2012) based on management journals published in Spanish, where the results show that the language and journal's name exert an effect on their perceived quality.…”

“…The above, has also had to be connected with strengthening scientific research of business and management at the discipline level, forming and incorporating researchers who are capable of generating first level knowledge into their classrooms. Different authors state that at the beginning of the nineties, scientific production in the areas of business and management was very incipient in Chile and Latin America, which has evolved positively in recent years (Olavarrieta and Villena, 2014;Olavarrieta, 2015;Ronda-Pupo, 2016;Coronado et al, 2016).…”

Different aspects have enhanced the development of scientific research in business and management in Chile. The aim of this paper is to analyse the characterisation of this scientific evolution. The method used is a Bibliometric analysis. Our sample examines any paper published between 1991 and 2015 in the Web of Science (WoS) database in the area of business and management. The main results show that the publications have had a significant increase. Scientific productivity increase may be related, among other factors: to the efforts of the Chilean universities that reward and incentivise publications in WoS; the participation of academics in competitive grants (Fondecyt); and international accreditations that demand more productive universities in terms of research. The results of the study could be interesting for universities from developing countries wishing to generate policies to increase the productivity in the areas of business and management.

Country names in journal titles: shaping researchers’ perception of journals quality

Numerous academic journals incorporate geographic names, including countries and regions, in their titles. This practice is not uniform, as some journals opt to internationalise by omitting these affiliations. To gauge the impact of country names in journal titles on researchers' perceptions of journal quality, 408 researchers in sociology, psychology, environmental sciences, and physical chemistry in Brazil, Canada, Germany, Malaysia, Nigeria, and the USA were surveyed. The study reveals that most researchers believe that a journal's association with a specific country influences their perception of its quality (74.6%) and international readership (76.8%). Consequently, researchers tend to avoid journals with country-specific titles, suspecting limited readership or a predominant focus on papers from that country. However, exceptions exist, primarily in terms of perception, especially for American journals, which are often perceived as indistinguishable from mainstream international journals. Disciplinary variations emerge, with subject matter influencing perceptions. Subjects such as sociology, closely tied to local and national issues, exhibit a more (compared to e.g., chemistry) significant tendency toward recognising national journals. The inclusion of the term "international" in journal titles elicits mixed opinions, with some associating it with low quality or predatory journals, a perception that stems from the proliferation of predatory journals in some Asian and African countries. This study offers insight into researchers’ preferences and underscores the important role of journal titles in shaping researchers' perceptions of journals’ scope, quality and readership. In a challenging metric-driven research and publishing landscape, it is important to strike a balance between internationalisation and fostering diversity in scholarly journal publishing.

To begin with, I would like to express my gratitude to the Board of Directors of the Faculty of Economic Sciences at the National University of Colombia, for considering my name to hold the position of director of INNOVAR journal. It is an honor and a privilege to be at the forefront of a publication that since its first issue, published in 1991, has been consolidating as a point of reference in terms of research and reflection in the field of Management Sciences, especially in Ibero-America (Olavarrieta, 2016), by summoning different perspectives and disciplines focused on the study of organizations.
