Abstract
Purpose – This study aims to analyze how gender, research experience and geography are related to the
researchers’ importance in the co-authorship network on management and accounting in Brazil.
Design/methodology/approach – A social network based on the co-authorship relationships in the
papers published in leading Brazilian journals was examined using a logit model to estimate the probability of
occupying prevailing positions.
Findings – The findings showed a network with a high level of fragmentation and a scarcity of authors
serving as gatekeepers. Based on the number of directed links and collaboration with influential and wellconnected authors, men were more likely to occupy central positions than women. Authors with higher
academic degrees tended to establish more links but were more likely to distance from other authors. In terms
of geography, authors from more- and less-favored regions may report similar propensity to occupy central
positions.
Practical implications – Decision-makers should consider the importance of strengthening
collaboration between different research groups and encourage female participation in broader Abstract
