In particular, when trying to understand if the scientific knowledge shared with the world is impacted by other factors instead of being judged solely by the quality and content of the research. Hence, this research analyses the composition of editorial teams from 27 journals in three main areas – Economics & Econometrics, Finance, and Business & International Management - and their influence on the efficiency of such journals. After collecting the data required to perform this study, the composition and characteristics of editorial board members, as well as an analysis aiming to identify patterns between editors’ characteristics and the context and impact of scientific publication journals were carried out. Some of the data collected about the editors and journals for the analyses were the gender, geography, affiliated institution, publisher’s categories, position in those categories, H-index, and SCImago Journal Rank. The gathered data was then used to build a Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) model to analyze journals’ efficiency, as input. The SFA allows us to develop a multi-input single-output scenario. Primary findings suggest that the performance of research journals’ is influenced by the size of the editorial board, gender, and location but not by the performance of each editor as an individual. There is an overwhelming presence of US-based, male, and academic editors among the editorial boards as well as US institutions represented by scholars. The results show that economics and finance journals tend to be more efficient than business journals and that the research industry, despite having a small margin to improve, appears to be efficient.Damásio, Bruno Miguel PintoMendonça, Sandro Miguel FerreiraRUNLopes, Joana Rita Romeiro Faria2022-11-17T11:59:16Z2022-10-242022-10-24T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/145586TID:203098455enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:26:07Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/145586Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:52:09.857505Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
