It is Time to Renew!

It is with great satisfaction that we deliver one more issue of the Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery (BJCVS). This has been a special year for all of us of the Editorial Board, besides celebrating our 30 anniversary we are deeply restructuring the BJCVS. In July 2015, during a meeting of the Board of the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular (SBCCV), we decided that the administrative system of the BJCVS should be directly managed by the SBCCV, which allowed a deep and systemic view of the journal and, measures could be taken, to reorganize the edition system and the administrative process. After a year under this new management system, we can say that things are being organized. The change in nomenclature was formalized, the BJCVS can now be found on the Thomson Reuters website by its name in English: Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery. All of you can access the website and enjoy the performance of your article in this database, from which the impact factor (IF) is calculated. You just need to enter the link: http://goo.gl/VBhrgi, click “Sign in Web of Sciences”, fill out the form or do log in, with your name and password. On the next page, go to “Basic Search”, type the journal name in English and select the index: Publication Name and “SEARCH”. The articles appear in chronological order from the newest to the oldest, but there is a floating box that allows several possibilities. Browsing the page, you will find a lot of important information, such as number of citations and viewing statistics. As we want that BJCVS become known in many different strata, we updated our presence in all indexing bases. All failures in the editorial processes were identified and remedied by implementing a work schedule involving the chief editor, associate editors, reviewers, authors and the entire team of the BJCVS and SBCCV, with the responsibility of strict adherence to deadlines.
