About the Journal

The Journal of Corporate Governance (JCG) is a scientific publication that aims to disseminate innovative research on the phenomenon of corporate governance, particularly focusing on the Brazilian market and emerging countries. It serves as a forum for the exchange of information, ideas, and knowledge based on theoretical development and corporate experiences. The journal is committed to publishing rigorous and relevant studies in corporate governance that can influence both academics and professionals in the field.

The JCG adheres to best editorial practices, modeled on impactful Brazilian and international scientific journals. All submitted articles undergo a double-blind peer review process to ensure the anonymity of both authors and reviewers.
