This research proposes the use of bibliometric analysis to understand the influence of authors and institutions in the human resources academic literature produced in Brazil throughout the 90's (1991 a 2000). The study mapped out, within the 290 articles published in the Enanpad proceedings, the constitution, origin, and relationship patterns of all citations, authors and institutions that were cited in the period's published articles. The bibliometric pattern of 5814 citations was analyzed, resulting 342 authors and 51 institutions. The results show an area with high level of self-citation and endogeny and elevated incidence of references to newspapers, magazines and foreign, non-academic authors. This study ends offering to the area suggestions for development and debate coming from the results and the comparison with prior studies using the same sample base.
