Half century of academic production in Capital Market in Brazil in high impact journals

ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of the Brazilian scientific research in Capital Markets, from 1961 to 2016, published in journals of high impact in the area of Administration, Accounting and Tourism. We intend to outline a research profile in Capital Markets from journals with A2 impact factor classification according to the Qualis/CAPES list in 2010, as well as the specific periodicals of the area such as RBFin, RBMEC, CE and RC&F. Methodologically, this is an empirical study with bibliometric investigation, longitudinal temporal cross-section, quantitative approach and a statistical non-probabilistic sampling, descriptive regarding the purpose, and documental regarding the means. As main results, capital market articles represented 458 papers (6.12%) of the 7,489 papers published in these journals, produced by 607 authors in 12 different Brazilian scientific journals, emphasizing that the Brazilian production represents only 43% of foreign production, that is, 13,053 articles of 91,684 articles. The RBFin, RC&F, RBMEC and RAE (Print) published, respectively, the majority of the articles, with the RBFin being the journal that stood out with 28% of the scientific production in the studied period. Therefore, the scientific production of Capital Markets appears to be very concentrated in few individuals, in institutions of the southeast and south regions and published, mostly, in specific scientific periodicals.摘要 本文针对1961年至2016年间发表于管理学、会计学与旅游学领域高影响力期刊的巴西资本市场科学研究展开分析。我们旨在依据2010年Qualis/CAPES学术期刊分级榜单中获评A2等级的期刊，以及RBFin、RBMEC、CE与RC&F等该领域专业期刊，勾勒出资本市场领域的研究全貌。在方法论层面，本研究属于实证研究，采用文献计量调查方法，为纵向时间截面研究，运用定量研究范式，采用统计非概率抽样；研究目的为描述性研究，研究手段为文献研究法。主要研究结果显示：在上述期刊发表的7489篇论文中，资本市场领域论文共计458篇，占比6.12%，由12种巴西科学期刊的607位作者共同完成。值得注意的是，巴西相关科研产出仅占境外研究总量的43%，即91684篇总论文中的13053篇。其中RBFin、RC&F、RBMEC与RAE（印刷版）刊载的相关论文数量位居各期刊前列，RBFin期刊以占研究周期内总科研产出28%的占比最为突出。综上，资本市场领域的科学研究成果高度集中于少数研究者、东南部与南部地区的科研机构，且多数发表于专业科学期刊。
