Writing for publication in business administration: comparing insights from Brazilian and American scholars

Abstract

This paper seeks to compare the process of bibliographical production of Brazilian professors who lecture in postgraduate programs in the field of Business Studies with that of their North-American counterparts. In-depth interviews were conducted with professors, lectures in Brazil or US, who have presented articles for publication to international journals with JCR impact factor greater than 1. Keeping in mind the particularities of each nation's educational system, the results call for the organization of the process of bibliographical production in Brazil, so as to reduce the existing gap between the research conditions prevailing in Brazil and the US.
