    This paper investigates the notion of prestige in editorial boards of Brazilian academic journals. It considers the ubiquity underlying the stratification characteristics of the scientific field. The sample included 41 journals in the business area, listed on the Brazilian system of journal classification (Qualis/Capes). We consider researchers’ multiple memberships on editorial boards in order to map out the network among journals. Hence, by the means of network indicators we explore their relations with journal impact factor and quality certified by the Qualis system. The results showed a significant relationship between the position of editorial boards in the network structure and the ranking classification as measured by impact factor and Qualis systems. We conclude discussing the ceremonial aspects of editorial board. We argue that the role they played by editorial boards goes beyond the technical function of publishing, to be linked to their action as science gatekeepers.

    O presente artigo analisou os conselhos editoriais de periódicos brasileiros a partir da noção de prestígio e da hipótese da onipresença subjacente às características de estratificação no campo científico. A amostra compreendeu 41 periódicos da área de Administração listados no sistema brasileiro de classificação de periódicos (Qualis/Capes). Assim, considerando-se as múltiplas afiliações de pesquisadores em conselhos editoriais, construímos a rede de relações entre periódicos e analisamos sua associação com indicadores de impacto e de qualidade atestada pelo sistema Qualis. Os resultados evidenciaram que periódicos com conselhos editoriais centralmente posicionados na estrutura de rede tenderam a ser mais bem avaliados no sistema Qualis e apresentaram maior percentual de citação. Concluímos o artigo discutindo aspectos ligados ao cerimonialismo presente na atividade do conselho editorial, tendo em vista o fato de que seu papel extrapola a atividade técnica de editoria, vinculando-se ao controle interno da ciência quanto à disseminação e certificação do conhecimento científico.
