ANPAD’s journals, Journal of Contemporary Administration (RAC) and Brazilian Administration Review (BAR) have long been pillars in promoting knowledge both in Brazil and internationally. This excellence is due to the outstanding professionals behind these publications. Since 2021, Professor Marcelo de Souza Bispo and Professor Ivan Lapuente Garrido, editors-in-chief of RAC and BAR, respectively, have ensured the dissemination of high-quality, innovative work to the academic community.
