La literatura científica en ciencias empresariales: Un análisis comparativo entre Chile y Brasil

Abstract

This study analyzes the scientific production in the field of business studies in Chile and Brazil. The methodology is based on scientometric tools, using as sources 7955 papers published in Scopus indexed journals between 2004 and 2013. In summary, the results indicate that although in both countries the scientific production has significantly increased, a reduction of the impact of these articles is detected. In addition, there are differences between Chile and Brazil associated to cooperation with other countries, the variety of journals where studies are published, and the structure of the ranking of the institutions that publish. The main conclusions indicate that research in this area is carried out in universities, cooperation between countries is significant in this scientific production, and dissemination is carried out mainly through regional journals.
