Description
Summary:Academic journals are important actors in the scientific field of Administration, understood as a space characterized by a logic of its own, where several agents compete and resort to various types of capital in order to determine the monopoly over scientific authority. How do academic journals follow and reflect the dynamic of the Administration field in Brazil? How do these actors take their positions in this space? This article shows how academic journals evolve as they follow the field’s dynamic and reinforce strategies for legitimizing scientific contribution. Finally, we discuss the current internationalization challenges for journals in the area.
