ANPAD is responsible for two prestigious scientific journals in the domain: the Revista de Administração Contemporânea – RAC [Journal of Contemporary Administration] (created in 1997) and the Brazilian Administration Review – BAR (created in 2004). As provided in the ANPAD Bylaws, our editorial team shall renew every three years. To democratize the process of choosing the new editor-in-chief, the Association’s Director of Communication and Publications have issued calls for application to the new editor-in-chief of each journal.
Both journals are highly ranked as top-quality publications by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and integrate the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and renowned international indexing agencies and repositories. Following a rigorous blind peer-review process, both journals are committed to developing scientific research in Administration and open to various methodological and conceptual approaches.
ABOUT RAC
RAC publishes theoretical and theoretical-empirical articles in the domains of Administration and Accounting. It is aligned with Open Science practices, including data, materials and open codes, in addition to further information related to the editorial process. In recent years, RAC has implemented editorial policies that favor Open Science, including: dissemination of data and materials related to published research; open peer review (with reviewers allowing their identification in the final version of all published articles submitted to double-blind review), and sharing of reviews (Open Reports), with all reviewers allowing the publication of their reviews along with the respective articles.
RAC is the leading academic journal in its field in Brazil, contaiing high-quality peer-reviewed contributions. We pay special attention to the role of RAC as a reliable source of data, information, and knowledge. Our editorial scope prioritizes manuscripts that explore topics relevant to society and relies on the topics defined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In fact, the journal takes a pluralistic and heterodox approach to business management research, and it is particularly concerned with the links between strategy and competitive management. It also provides research results on systems and standards, corporate management tools, organizations and management, specific sectors of the industry, as well as answers to contemporary issues such as development, community resilience, inequality, consumerism, technology, and climate change.
ABOUT BAR
Available in the major indexers, including Scopus, BAR is a scientific journal that targets business and public administration. Its mission is to advance academic knowledge in management, administration and organizational theories. It seeks to convey theoretical and empirical studies with a view to supporting companies and governments worldwide. Theoretical and methodological perspectives are welcome, as long as they are also practice-oriented. Manuscripts submitted to BAR should not focus on a particular country/region and are expected to push theoretical, methodological and applied advances to the frontiers of academic knowledge on a global scale. BAR’s editorial scope does not include teaching cases or purely applied material. The journal’s target audience is the global academic community in all fields of business and public administration.
In cooperation with the Open Science, BAR has disclosed the reviewers’ identities in the published articles, with their prior authorization. It has recently published its first article in its new section “Thinking Outside the Box” (TOB). This is a highly selective section, where renowned scholars discuss emerging ideas, controversies in the field, statistical datafrom the industry, and practical experiences with theories and organizational models in unique situations.
