Perfil das publicações em contabilidade de custos no congresso ANPCONT de 2015 a 2019

Abstract

The bibliometric analysis of articles published on a given topic has been gaining space in the academy, as it serves as a subsidy for the improvement and direction of new studies. In this way, the study about the profile of works with the theme of Cost Accounting aims to bring to readers what has been the qualitative and quantitative evolution of publications that address the theme. The aim of this study was to identify the profile of articles published in ANPCONT with the theme of Cost Accounting in the editions from 2015 to 2019. For this purpose, all articles that contained the expression Cost in the title, abstract or keywords were taken from the Congress Annals in the period under analysis. Then, the articles were classified according to the institutional link, academic title and gender of the authors; number of published articles and number of authors per article. The founded results show that there is a tendency on publish works with two authors, and most of them are male, as well as authors who were undertaking a Master’s degree. About the institutionally link, more than half of the publications are by authors from institutions located in southern Brazil. It is concluded that more studies are needed in order to better elucidate the profile of the articles published about costs in other events in the area.
