The advancement of the concept of projects and the development and acceptation of methodologies and approaches for its planning and management, has permitted its applicability in different areas, realities and organizational cultures. The search for methods and instruments capable of conducting your project to a successful accomplishment, e.g. a scientific journal, has motivated many organizations to enhance planning and management by resorting to good project management practices. In this context, the objective of this paper is to analyze the process of making a scientific journal within a perspective of project management. A case study was developed that verified the application of management processes of scope, deadline and costs of the project of producing a specialized medical scientific journal. Within the results, emphasis goes to the fact that despite not having information about good project management practices, the organization applies some of its tools informally and embryonically. Some elements that impact on the delay of the magazines diffusion were identified as in need of enhancement. Improvement proposals were presented by applying project management methodologies that can contribute with enriched planning and project management.
