What Is a Technological Article?

Abstract

In 2017, I wrote an editorial for the Journal of Contemporary Administration (RAC), which contributed to advancing my thoughts on technological articles. After the publication, I received many more invitations from graduate programs, associations, scientific events, and the Brazilian agency Capes to discuss technological production, particularly technological articles. This experience highlighted two things for me: (a) after five years, it is time to update the thoughts I had in 2017; (b) being unfamiliar with this type of study is the main barrier for people to produce technological articles. Thus, I am writing the following lines to invite you to a new reflection on what a technological article is. However, it is important to recognize that, strictly speaking, a technological article is a scientific article and is not worse or better than a traditional one. Depending on the audience, it may be more or less relevant, but not worse or better.
