This article aims to highlight the importance of the Journal of Accounting & Finance - USP in the Brazilian academic area and point out the changes this publication has gone through since the study by Martins (2002). We used a deductive-analytical and descriptive method from a quali-quantitative approach. Considerable changes were made between 2001 and 2004, resulting in a meaningful evolution in terms of research types used to elaborate the articles, which were mostly empiric-theoretical. Another essential fact is the increased diversity of authors and institutions represented in the Journal, proceeding not only from different Brazilian states but also from other countries.
