This article aims to report the experience of the editors of a journal dedicated to the study of administration and business in the Brazilian Amazon. The article will discuss the contribution of the journal Revista de Administração e Negóciosna Amazônia (Rara) to the advancement of science and academia while focusing on sustainable development. Rara was created by researchers at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Sustainable Development of the Amazon (Cedsa), whose research group is part of the Pos-Graduation Program in Administration of the Universidade Federal de Rondônia, in Rondônia, Brazil. The study uses a qualitative approach, exploratory in nature, with the objective of reporting the experience of the Journal. The research procedure reports the experience of its editors. The Journal website, papers and editorials were used as data. The data became information that served as the basis to analyze the contributions of the journal to the advancement of science and academia in the Amazon. We describe the strategies for creation, editing and penetration in the academic world and the progress of Rara, punctuating the vision and perspective of its editors. We assess that the initiative is pertinent and has been contributing to the development of the Amazon region, however, it is still resented by the greater participation of authors from the North Region, as well as the low quality of paper submissions. It is concluded that the efforts of editing to keep a tri-annual journal portrays the satisfaction of the editors in contributing to the dissemination of knowledge and making available to researchers and academics of the Amazon region a vehicle in which they can share its reflections and researchresults within the local region and all the scientific community.
