Abstract

This essay aims to examine 13 common mistakes identified in studies in the field of Public and Business Administration in Brazil grouped into three dimensions. The first dimension, 'Slips for Lack of Reflection' includes those mistakes related to the lack of reflection by the authors, such as when using the word Methodology in the section that discusses the Methods or spending words sparingly to present the relevance of the research. In the second dimension, 'Slips in the Use of the Method', we discuss aspects related to the Method in a scientific paper, making clear, for example, some mistakes generally made when naming one given Method (Netnography) and applying another instead (Non- Participant). The third dimension, “Slips Towards the Production of Scientific Studies”, presents mistakes related to the importance of a well-structured text to produce Science. For instance, a text that does not have managerial and theoretical implications in the field of Public Administration and Business or even that does not discuss issues for future research is far from being relevant to science and organizations.
