How QUALIS CAPES influences Brazilian academic production? A stimulus or a barrier for advancement?

Como o sistema QUALIS CAPES influencia a produção acadêmica brasileira? Um estímulo ou uma barreira para o avanço?

ABSTRACT

This study delves into the consequences of QUALIS CAPES. To do that, data on the editorial boards of the journals classified as A1 and A2 in the areas of Business, Accounting and Tourism; and Economics are collected. Findings show that the US and the UK dominate the academic production. Brazil and other emerging countries are not relevant. Issues of the five top journals of each area were analyzed, showing that QUALIS may bias research in the country to issues not connected to Brazilian questions.
