It is
extremely gratifying to see the results of a collective effort made
by our scientific community in the process of indexing our Jornal Vascular
Brasileiro (J Vasc Br) in the SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library
Online). It is a quite significant stage of its growth, acknowledgement
and stability, towards the establishment as a faithful depository for
the Brazilian scientific culture with regard to angiology and vascular
surgery in their essence and fields of practice.
This qualification
gives our Journal more visibility in the international scientific world,
besides receiving the category Qualis A for publication, which will
allow articles originated from thesis and dissertations to have an acknowledged
national space for their publication. Thus, the J Vasc Br can, by means
of this indexing, reach a level for our specialties and for the Brazilian
Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery that had never been reached
in its history.
We feel
privileged to encourage such process, which started on December 13,
2004, as a result of the work made in previous years since the creation
of our J Vasc Br on July 2002, during the presidency of Dr. Márcio
Leal de Meirelles.
We should
also register all efforts developed by Dr. Telmo Bonamigo, its first
Editor-in-chief, the quality continuation kept by the current Editor-in-chief,
Dr. Winston Yoshida, as well as the performance of the Scientific Directors
of the SBACV, Dr. Guilherme B. Pitta (2004-2005) and Dr. Fausto Miranda
Júnior (2006-2007), who are credited for starting the indexing
process.
But nothing
would have been possible without the effort and work developed by the
Editorial Board, referees, and mainly by the authors of the published
articles, who made this indexing possible.
We must
now keep producing and, who knows, in a near future, make more daring
flights, by indexing the J Vasc Br in the MEDLINE, as is intended by
our dear Editor-in-chief. This wish is certainly shared by all members
of our Society.
Congratulations
to all our community for this conquest! It is clear that united we may
achieve our highest objectives.
