Abstract

The study was conducted using a qualitative approach and an interpretive paradigm with the aim of analyzing the structure of the scientific publishing ecosystem in Business Administration and Business Sciences in Peru. A documentary-exploratory design was employed, based on a systematic review of institutional websites, publishing platforms, and academic databases from 2008 to 2026. Based on inclusion criteria such as thematic relevance, publishing activity, and verifiable information, 64 scientific journals were identified, most of which are published by Peruvian universities. The analysis revealed emerging categories such as interdisciplinarity, digital publishing, scientific visibility, and open access. The results show a predominance of multidisciplinary journals (56.2%), a high concentration in public universities (65.6%), and a limited presence in high-impact international databases, with a reliance on regional systems such as Latindex and Google Scholar. Furthermore, progressive advances in the digitization of publishing processes and diversity in publication frequency are observed. In interpretive terms, the publishing ecosystem is in the process of consolidation, with advances in open access and modernization, but also with challenges such as weak disciplinary specialization and limited internationalization. It is concluded that scientific journals are key infrastructures for the production and dissemination of knowledge, and that it is necessary to strengthen their editorial quality, professionalize their management, and enhance their integration with global scientific networks.
