“The hundreds of hours you might spend conducting a study ultimately contribute just one piece to a much larger puzzle. The value of your study will be determined as much by how it fits with previous work and what questions it leaves for future research as from its own findings” (Cooper, 1998).

In the last decades we have observed the proliferation of studies which seek to systematise or to quantify the findings which were discovered in different domains of academic knowledge. Such phenomenon can be justified by the increase in scientific production. Only in Brazil, in the last 15 years, the number of PhDs has risen from 13,219 to 55,047.

One of the ways to systematise the literature by means of the quantitative approach is the bibliometric or scientometric studies, which seek to survey indicators of scientific production in order to answer questions, such as the impact factor of periodicals, most quoted authors in a thematic domain and to map the academic collaborative networks. In foreign countries, bibliometric studies also serve as a criterion of the acknowledgment of researchers, of research centres, thus contributing to the construction of fame and to the access to financial resources.

Another used method is meta-analysis. It collaborates with the efforts to integrate the findings of different studies originating from a field of knowledge, to compare the results which are obtained in contexts of different researches, to observe a variety of methods which are used in a field, to identify different contributions in a determined domain of knowledge.

Both techniques are based on the premise that scientific knowledge is cumulative and cooperative. It is constructed on the basis of the results of researches, which indicate gaps that will be investigated in the future. In this way we believe that studies of field revision can contribute to the increase of the relevance and rigour of our studies. Besides this, they serve as a basis for compared studies, which are more and more required in a world which is considered global.

Aiming to collaborate with investigative efforts in the field of international business the Revista de Negócios Internacionais – Journal of International Business of ESPM – invites university members who are affiliated to different domains of knowledge to submit their production in the domain of bibliometric studies and meta-analysis.
