Publishing Guidelines  

Mission: The mission of the Brazilian Administration Review (BAR) is to contribute to the deeper understanding of Administration by the international publication of the most relevant papers in theoretical development and empirical research produced by Brazilian academia as well as by researchers from other countries.

Scope and Focus: BAR publishes articles of theoretical development and empirical papers in the area of Administration. Different theoretical and methodological perspectives in the treatment of themes are acceptable as long as they are consistent and relevant. Papers with greater potential for having an international impact will be given preference. We understand that this impact can be caused by the theoretical development of the papers as well as empirical studies that have a national (or international) amplitude, papers that cover large Brazilian organizations, typical Brazilian organizations, or also those that consider international comparisons.

Target Audience: The target audience of BAR is made up of the international and national academic world in the area of administration and organizational studies.

Requirements: The articles submitted for the analysis of BAR must be unpublished, both domestically and internationally, and should not be under consideration for publication in any other channel of communication. Papers published in congress proceedings may possibly be considered by the Editorial Council as long as they are in the final format for an article. The articles must be written in the English language.
