The objective of this article was to search for ways to support the outlining of a proposal for ranking international accounting periodicals for use by Qualis CAPES. To do so, an exploratory cross-sectional survey was carried out, using a quantitative approach. Data was collected from the CAPES Journal Portal, obtaining a total of 50 periodicals. Results show: international accounting journals available through the CAPES Journal Portal; international accounting journals indexed in SCOPUS or ISI but not available through the CAPES Journal Portal; accounting journals cited in accounting journals indexed in SCOPUS; accounting journals cited in accounting journals indexed in SCOPUS but not available through the CAPES Journal Portal; and the 2006 impact factor of accounting journals cited by accounting journals indexed in SCOPUS. Based on these research results, a proposal for classification of international accounting journals was outlined for use by Qualis CAPES, intended as a starting point for discussion and construction of a proposal in the light of the 2007 Qualis CAPES revision.
