The increasing development of studies regarding knowledge its practical application in the organizational scope confers certain relevance to Knowledge Management, which is consolidated as a complex theme due to the interactions with culture, technology, people, among others. Consequently, the number of scientific publications related to this subject increases due to factors such as increase in graduate programs, number of masters and doctorates, researcher maintenance requirements in the academic field and CAPES evaluation rules. In this context, contemplated by scholars of several areas with which Knowledge Management relates, this study analyzes the profile of the authors in the Brazilian scientific production of Knowledge Management. To carry out such analyzes the methodology is characterized by its descriptive nature and used a quantitative approach through the use of bibliometrics. Some of the results show that the productions of double authorship are more frequent than the individual ones and with each increase in the number of authors, there is a decrease in the number of publications and the authors who publish individually and in co authorship tend to present a more collaborative behavior. The interactions between the authors' degrees show more frequent relationships between the individuals with the same degree and, secondly, the doctors relate more to masters than to doctoral candidates. The replicability of the research in another temporal cut is suggestion of future work, allowing to evidence new perceptions regarding the Brazilian academic profiles.
