The article will discuss the contribution of the journal Revista de Administração e Negóciosna Amazônia (Rara) to the advancement of science and academia while focusing on sustainable development. Rara was created by researchers at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Sustainable Development of the Amazon (Cedsa), whose research group is part of the Pos-Graduation Program in Administration of the Universidade Federal de Rondônia, in Rondônia, Brazil. The study uses a qualitative approach, exploratory in nature, with the objective of reporting the experience of the Journal. The research procedure reports the experience of its editors. The Journal website, papers and editorials were used as data. The data became information that served as the basis to analyze the contributions of the journal to the advancement of science and academia in the Amazon. We describe the strategies for creation, editing and penetration in the academic world and the progress of Rara, punctuating the vision and perspective of its editors. We assess that the initiative is pertinent and has been contributing to the development of the Amazon region, however, it is still resented by the greater participation of authors from the North Region, as well as the low quality of paper submissions. It is concluded that the efforts of editing to keep a tri-annual journal portrays the satisfaction of the editors in contributing to the dissemination of knowledge and making available to researchers and academics of the Amazon region a vehicle in which they can share its reflections and researchresults within the local region and all the scientific community.

摘要 本文旨在汇报巴西亚马逊地区行政管理与商业研究领域专属期刊的编辑团队运营经验。本文将围绕可持续发展主题，探讨《亚马逊管理与商业期刊》（Revista de Administração e Negócios na Amazônia，简称Rara）对科学与学术进步的贡献。Rara由巴西朗多尼亚州朗多尼亚联邦大学（Universidade Federal de Rondônia）行政学研究生项目下属研究团队——亚马逊可持续发展跨学科研究中心（Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Sustainable Development of the Amazon，简称Cedsa）的研究者创办。本研究采用定性研究方法，属于探索性研究范畴，核心目标为梳理该期刊的运营经验，研究流程以整理编辑团队的实践经历为核心内容，以期刊官网、刊载论文及编辑部社论作为数据来源。经梳理加工后，上述数据转化为分析该期刊对亚马逊地区科学与学术发展贡献的核心依据。本文阐述了Rara的创办策略、编辑流程及学术影响力拓展路径，并结合编辑团队的办刊理念与发展展望展开分析。经评估，该办刊举措具备必要性，且已为亚马逊地区的发展作出积极贡献，但仍存在两处短板：一是北部地区作者的参与度有待提升，二是投稿论文的整体质量欠佳。综上，该期刊为每年三期的学术刊物，编辑团队为维持其运营所付出的不懈努力，体现出他们致力于知识传播的初心，同时也为亚马逊地区的研究者与学者搭建了可在本地及全球科研共同体中分享研究反思与成果的学术平台。
