This study seeks to highlight the importance of adopting certain methodological components to make an intellectual production truly scientific. Therefore, it briefly discusses the main “schools” of methodology – namely, inductive, deductive, hypothetical-deductive and dialectical – to then seek the thesis of one Graduate Program in Administration for statements – by the authors – about the adoption of one of these methods as paradigm for conducting the academic exhibition held. The research does not review the adequacy of the methodological choices nor the correct application of the methodos, but only the statement of methodological option or choice itself. It is a descriptive research, as to the purposes, and classified as to the means, as a case study. Analyzed all essays submitted between the years 2010 and 2014 it was possible to perceive the low adherence rate of the theses to specifically one of the scientific methods. In other words, the authors did not make explicit throughout their work if they defined (and thus followed) any methodological paths whatsoever.Downloads
