The creation and popularization of the Internet have led to serious changes in the communication field. Specifically in scientific communication, the use of electronic media allows you to streamline the editorial process steps, as well as facilitate the creation, dissemination, research and use of scientific information. However, the incorporation of technology is also challenging because it requires several changes in the management model of scientific journals. This is basically composed of scientific aspects (certification of contents aiming at the selection and dissemination of knowledge of high quality), administrative aspects (editorial and graphic production, administrative and financial management, marketing and communications) and financial aspects (revenue model) that need to be well aligned so that the journal can accomplish its main goal. This study aimed to analyze the editorial management of scientific journals in the Business Administration field in the Brazilian context and proposes a typology of their management models. It was adopted a qualitative approach and the data collection methods used were documental research, interviews and bibliometric analysis for, respectively, context identification, description of editorial management models and calculus of the impact of the journals selected for the study (Revista de Administração de Empresas, Revista de Administração Contemporânea, Revista de Administração da USP, Organizações & Sociedade and Brazilian Administration Review). It was identified that the selected journals have a relatively high impact (measured by citations) when compared to foreign journals classified at the Qualis (Brazilian Official Journal Ranking) of the Administration, Accounting and Tourism field. It is noticed that the management model of the journals is strongly linked to the type of supporting institution (Scientific Association, Private or Public Higher Education Institutions), which influences in scientific, administrative and financial matters of the journals. It is hoped that the results of this research can contribute not only to the editors of scientific journals, but also for decision makers that work with the policies of assessment and promotion of scientific journals in Brazil.
