Editorial

Abstract

This edition of the Brazilian Administration Review contains five articles: two selected from among those submitted via the regular channels and three from those submitted to the special forum on the Institutional Theory on Brazilian Organizational Studies. In both cases, the typical selection and preparation procedures for the periodical were used, with one exception: one of the articles from the special forum, having been cowritten by the Editor of the BAR, underwent the entire process, but is registered as an invited article. This procedure mirrors that of prestigious academic journals, which occasionally allow the editor to publish a solicited article. As this is the first time this prerogative has been exercised, an explanation was considered necessary.
