Gerenciamento de Projetos: Comparativo Bibliométrico dos Anais de Congressos Brasileiros na Área de Administração e Engenharia de Produção

Abstract

This paper examined the scientific production on the subject of Project Management from period 2004 to 2014. The unit of analysis is composed of articles published in the Brazilian annals of the Meeting of the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Administration (EnANPAD) and the Meeting of the National Production Engineering (ENEGEP) in the last 11 years. The results show that the theoretical focus is in the discussion of how the fundamentals of project management are used by practitioners, because of the sub-theme of greatest interest identified in this study was the ‘Application of Practices’, followed by the sub-theme ‘Tools and Techniques’. The paper also points out that the research agenda has Brazilian researchers regularly and frequently in the theme, which depict the project management function of typical and unique variables in Brazil. Depending on the most cited references in the articles analyzed, confirms the importance of the journals referenced in accordance with the classification CAPES WebQualis and presence in SCOPUS Journal Metrics database with the indices Impact per Publication (IPP) and SCImago Journal Rank (JRS). Finally, it appears that there is little interest in project management studies by Brazilian researchers.
