The communication of scientific knowledge: data on the speed of the process of evaluation and publication of scientific articles in journals in the field of accounting

Abstract

In this sense, this study aimed to find evidence that would allow identification and analysis of the evaluation period and publication of articles in scientific journals in the field of accounting. To achieve the proposed objectives, we performed a descriptive study using the research strategy document of eight articles in 660 journals linked to post-graduate studies in Accounting, from 2004 to 2009. The results demonstrated that the time for evaluation and publication of scientific work has increased over the period analyzed. It can be inferred that the classification of the periodic system Qualis / CAPES, the lifetime of the journal, the small number of assessors, the increase of scientific production in the area of accounting and the new evaluation policy of Qualis / CAPES as factors that affect time evaluation of the submitted articles in accounting journals.
