Abstract: This article analyzes the effect advising has on Management Ph.D student scientific publication. The research question is how an adviser’s competence in scientific production (publication of articles) may influence their advisee’s production. In an empirical study using secondary data of a sample of 313 new-PhDs and 127 professors from four Brazilian universities, we analyzed the relationship between the number and quality of adviser publications with the number and quality of advisee publications, using multiple linear regressions. We thus analyzed the impact adviser production has as a predictor of new-Ph.D.’s future publication competence. We found evidence for a significant relationship between quality of adviser publications and the quality of advisee publications, but not the quantity. This study contributes to demonstrate that the scientific production of advisers - in quality and quantity - is directly related to their students’ future production, with implications for doctoral programs and for research on scientific production.
