Is the word autores the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of "autores" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels (like the "e" in "autores") tend to be reduced, shortened, or almost swallowed, making the word sound more "closed" to a Brazilian ear.
