BARROS COSTA, Abimael de Jesus  and  BARBOSA LUSTOSA, Paulo Roberto. Rankings of Graduate Accounting Programs: Analysis of Teacher Production According to Publications in Brazilian Journals (2000-2009). Cuad. Contab. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.38, pp.549-573. ISSN 0123-1472.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.cc15-38.rppc.

The purpose of this research was to describe the teacher production in accounting graduate programs (Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Contábeis, PPGCC) during a ten-year time window (2000-2009). A database was created using the methodology of Joshua G., Coyne, Scott L. Summers, Brady Williams and David A. Wood (2009), through the analysis of 27 journals. Rankings were made for this purpose, to help answer the research question. Afterwards, a descriptive analysis of the articles was made. The general ranking of the PPGCC showed that the program of the USP (Universidade de São Paulo) is the most prominent. In turn, the program of the FURB (Fundação Universidade Regional de Blumenau) is outstanding regarding the case study empiric study methodology, while the program of the UFPE (Universidade Federal de Pernambuco) shows academic production relevant to the field of fiscal studies. A characteristic of the programs is the empiric research based on databases and focused on the financial accounting area. In general terms, the PPGCC that stand out are from the USP, FURB, FUCAPE (Fundação Instituto Capixaba de Pesquisas em Contabilidade, Economia e Finanças) UFMG (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais) and USP-RP (Universidade de São Paulo-Ribeirão Preto). It was confirmed, among other results, that said programs are characterized by the high number of full time teachers and by the predominance of positivist empiric research on finance, which constitutes 80% of the publications. Most of the published articles are authored by groups of two or four. Lastly, from 2000 to 2009, their performance increased.
