This article examined the scientific literature in operations management in Brazil, seeking to identify the themes of greatest interest of researchers and the most active research groups from a sample of 3,224 articles published in thirteen national scientific journals the period from 2001 to 2010. In addition to the classification of articles according to their thematic categories also identified the origin of the authors, who were separated according to the area of expertise (management or production engineering) and the institution of affiliation. In General, 18.4% of all articles published in the magazines 3,224 analyzed fall as relevant to the area of operations. The results show sensitive difference between the percentages relating to magazines with origin in administration area, which ranged from 1.7% to 10.9%, and those related to magazines with origin in the field of production engineering, whose percentages ranged from 57.8% to 62.4%. The theme addressed was Logistics Operations management and supply chain, with approximately 20% of the published works. This theme has deserved more prominence in the magazines of administration, with 35% of the total number of papers published, than in production engineering magazines in which totals 14% of published works. The themes service operations and project management and product development occupy virtually together, the same position, and secondly between the themes of greatest interest, both in magazines and on the administration of production engineering. Notice also that the issues related to the topic and work organization, Ergonomics are barely covered by the magazines, with an average of 2% of the works published. On the other hand, represents 8% of the papers published in the magazines of production engineering. It is believed that the research has been useful so that the researchers can better understand the editorial space that is available for the publication of their research findings, regardless of whether they have their origin in Administration or in production engineering.
