A cut of the scientific production of former students of a program of graduate degree in Accounting

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the influence of a master's degree in Accounting in the scientific production of masters graduates of the Program Multi-Institutional and Inter-Regional Graduate Gegree in Accounting from UNB/UFPB/UFPE/UFRN. In this context, we conducted an exploratory and descriptive research, supported by the inductive method, by applying a questionnaire to graduates of the program and data collection relating to his scientific production from their Lattes kept at the base of the Lattes CNPq. In their results, we can see that only 30.85% of the components of the sample participate in some research group, 66% of research projects undertaken by them were initiated after entry into the Masters, and that the means of publishing journal articles and events after enrolling in graduate school are significantly higher than those prior to this admission, which proves the positive influence of titration in their scientific production, which can be ratified with the test of difference between two means. Still, one can observe that, on average, graduates of the core Northeast and women have higher levels of scientific production.
