MACEDO, Maria do Socorro Alencar Nunes; COUTO, Euclides de Freitas  and  RIBEIRO, Daniele Alves. Criteria Qualis A1 of Education: the evaluation through an academic contest. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.47, pp.229-248. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv22n47.229.

Our objective in this article is to reflect about the criteria of Qualis Education Journal, an evaluation system of journals, which is part of a complex system to evaluate post graduation programs. Through the documental method, we selected the criteria A1 as defined by the 2013 Triennial Area Evaluation Document, the most modern in the Education field. Based in Pierre Bourdieu sociological discussion of the field theory, when we analyze each criterion, the magazine is typified as an agent subjected to the rules that conduct the struggle for the symbolical capital in this microcosm set. Even though, in the area of competence, the evaluation process is much more complex than the official documents predict, the criteria adopted by Capes show the academic competition to achieve the legitimacy by the inclinations acquired in the field as itself.

Keywords : Brazilian Academic Field; Scientific Capital; Journals; Qualis A1 Education Criteria.
