Three Years, 36 Months
As 2017 ends, so it does my third year as BAR Editor-in-Chief. Three years of learning and collaborating with scholars from Brazil and other countries. For an outsider, it may seem to be an easy task to run an academic journal, but it is not, especially one that is not focused on a single subject. Fortunately, ANPAD offers all the support for operational functions of BAR, and the required resources to deliver a high-quality journal for our readers. Also, we have been lucky enough to have some financial support from CNPq agency, and the volunteer contribution of Associate and Action Editors, and reviewers. BAR's Editorial Assistant, Luciane Kiwara has been extremely important for the timely publication of our editions, among other things, and we count with the detailed English revision done by Bruno Mondragon and Eric Ford Travis, Ph.D., that have helped to keep the quality of published articles. It is important to stress that ANPAD's board of directors have always been very supportive and committed to its publication: BAR and RAC. Although challenging, it is a rewarding work to be BAR Editor-in-Chief.

As an academic, I have been going to the ENANPAD meetings for the last 27 years or so, I have missed some of them, but I always try to go to the annual meetings. I truly believe that the respect and recognition I have from some peers in the Brazilian academy today, is due to my participation in these meetings. ANPAD had an import role, and still does, on the development of the administration science in Brazil.
In the last three years I can affirm that the quality of reviews has improved, but there is still a long path to follow before we can achieve the international quality of top management journals, published specially in the USA and Europe, and we are working for that to happen. It is common to hear colleagues that have submitted an article to a top ranked international journal to comment on the quality of the review they received, how it helped the article to advance, etc. Sometimes it requires almost a completely new version of the article, but authors are happy to...
