BAR - Brazilian Administration Review According to the Brazilian indexing service SPELL (Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library, spell.org.br), there are more than 100 Brazilian journals that publish original studies in the fields covered by BAR. BAR stands out in this scenario due to meeting world-class editorial standards, such as the commitment to editorial deadlines, the application of theoretical and methodological rigor in the review of manuscripts, the scholarly reputation of the editorial boards, and the strict use of English throughout the entire editorial process. Actions like these have been contributing to the image of BAR as home to unique intellectual production. BAR’s editorial process is highly structured, with systematic procedures intended to assist the editor-in-chief, senior editors, associate editors and reviewers in the editorial process. Besides the editorial board, the journal also has an experienced office staff supporting all processes in order to assure publication quality, timeliness and adherence to other requirements of indexing services such as Scopus, SciELO, and Spell. The office staff checks submissions for originality, formatting standards, APA norms and English usage, communicates with authors, reviewers and editors on ordinary routines, and builds statistics from the various indexing platforms where BAR is present - and the office also feeds those platforms with data from BAR. As part of the constantly improving editorial process, in 2012, BAR adopted the practice of publishing articles ahead of print, i.e., online publishing of accepted articles before the complete full issue is published. Also, in 2014, BAR started to encode articles in XML, a due action for all journals indexed by SciELO. In 2015, BAR adopted a CC-BY Creative Commons license, also following SciELO standards. That license is used by different publishers and titles to make it easier to access information and disseminate knowledge. In 2016, the ahead-of-print practice evolved to a continuous publication model, a model that was championed by BAR in its field in Brazil. That is, BAR publishes articles in final form and sends them to the indexing services as soon as they complete the full editorial process and independently of the other documents to be published in the same issue. In an era of digital technologies, BAR thus quickly reaches the reader and disseminates knowledge from highly relevant scholarly studies to an audience keen on innovation and advancements in the frontiers of science and practice. BAR is present in many of the most prestigious indexing platforms, such as Scopus, Cabell’s, SciELO, ProQuest, DOAJ, EBSCO, Gale/Cengage Learning, IBSS, Latindex, Ullrichs, Spell, Sumários.org, and Redalyc. Publication: BAR is published quarterly (January-March, April-June, July-September, October-December), but it also adopts the continuous publication model. The idea is to streamline the publication process so as to make documents available as soon as their editorial process is complete. BAR is a Brazilian pioneer in its field in using the continuous publication model. Its abbreviated form is BAR, Braz. Adm. Rev., which should be used in cataloguing, footnotes and bibliographical references. |

Scope and policy

Editorial policy
BAR’s mission is to advance scholarly knowledge on management and organizational theories and their implications for business and public administration by means of the global dissemination of conceptual and empirical studies developed in Brazil and other countries. Prospective authors should note that studies with blurred boundaries between what is inherent to organization studies and what may be framed within the interests of, for instance, anthropology and sociology will be rejected. Symptomatically, a large body of research has been misguiding organization scholars. The same policy applies to studies that are not fully characterized within another scholarly field but whose main interests concern isolated issues, such as culture, gender, race, performance, impact, and the like. BAR’s editorial scope for research articles does not include teaching cases, theoretical essays, opinion papers, purely applied practitioner-oriented technical material, and replication studies. As for the latter, replication is here conceived in broad terms, including the testing of theories (confirmation/refutation of previous findings), contextualization studies (application of scales to a different context) and perspective studies (collection of data from a different demographic group). Systematic literature reviews will be considered only if they address issues of contemporary interest both for theory development and application in organizations. Before submitting your systematic literature review, BAR recommends authors to read two papers on how to develop compelling literature reviews: 1 and 2. Target audience BAR’s target audience is the Brazilian and the global scholarly communities in all interests of business and public administration. Requirements Documents of interest for a BAR issue include editorial prefaces (section "Editorial"), interviews with renowned scholars (section "Interview"), original studies (section "Research articles") and outstanding opinion articles that challenge current paradigms or describe unique experiences on the application of theories (section "Thinking Outside the Box"). All submitted documents must be unpublished and not be under consideration for publication in any other venue. Previous publication as a preprint or in conference proceedings would not violate the originality requirements, but each case should be discussed with the editorial office and informed in the cover letter upon submission. Submissions must be in English and are subject to a preliminary screening by the editorial office and the editor-in-chief, and, if appropriate, submissions are forwarded to associate editors who may also decide to forward them to a full double-blind peer review. Prospective authors are asked to read BAR articles before preparing their own submissions Article review
BAR adopts iThenticate to control for plagiarism. There are no fees for submitting, reviewing or publishing articles in BAR. |
Forms and preparation of manuscripts
|
BAR uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/bar-scielo) for document submission, double-blind peer review, editorial decisions, and editorial team management. Documents should be thus submitted electronically, after the user creates his or her account in the platform. To create your account, please follow the on-screen instructions, filling in the requested information. Your username will be your preferred email address. During account creation, you may be given the option to associate an ORCID iD with the account by either registering for a new ORCID iD or retrieving a current ORCID iD. We encourage all authors to register for ORCID, a non-profit, transparent, community-based effort to give all research activity a unique identifier. ORCID iD is mandatory for accepted articles. Our Submission Manual have been carefully prepared to facilitate the editorial process of submitting articles online. Therefore, please observe the formatting instructions carefully. The formatting of citations and references must match the norms of the American Psychological Association (APA). A submission that does not comply with the journal’s requirements will be returned to the authors. Improving your chances of getting published To improve your chances of getting published in BAR, we suggest that you read your article and check it against the issues below. Even if you answer some of them in the negative form, that does not mean that your work will not be accepted.
