This article presents a study of academic production in the period 2008-2012 in relation to the researches using Structural Equation Modeling as a quantitative method for data analysis. A sample of 44 articles was analyzed by means of the evaluation methodology of quality dimensions suggested by Hoppen, Lapointe and Moreau (1996) adapted for this study. We extracted articles indexed in the database Scientific Periodical Electronic Library and journals pre-selected area of Administration and Information Systems with the use of keywords. These had their content analyzed according to the variables of the research structure: nature, research question, research design, measurement instrument and data collection, validity of the constructs, data analysis and presentation of results. This study identified in the articles analyzed a moderate accuracy in the preparation and manipulation of research when considering the quality aspects expected for a quantitative research.
