    <p>A publica&#231;&#227;o cient&#237;fica mais tradicional da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia, com 73 anos de idade, <italic>Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia</italic> ou <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic>, acaba de atingir um patamar de reconhecimento internacional baseado no fator de impacto do ano 2020, que &#233; um novo recorde na sua hist&#243;ria.</p>
    <p>O novo fator de impacto do <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> &#233; de 2,0, publicado pelo Journal of Citation Report (JCR, Clarivate) de 2020, o que significa que em m&#233;dia cada artigo publicado no <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> teve 2 cita&#231;&#245;es por outros artigos. Isto representa o impacto dos dados cient&#237;ficos publicados no <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> na comunidade com produ&#231;&#227;o cient&#237;fica ativa. Este &#237;ndex vem subindo progressivamente nos &#250;ltimos anos e o fator de impacto de 2 n&#227;o &#233; apenas um n&#250;mero isolado (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Figura 1</xref>).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1"><sup>1</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4"><sup>4</sup></xref> Tamb&#233;m de grande import&#226;ncia &#233; a posi&#231;&#227;o do <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> como a n&#250;mero 1 entre as revistas de ci&#234;ncia cardiovascular na Am&#233;rica Latina pelos rankings internacionais como o Scopus (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Figura 2</xref>).</p>

    <p>Este feito s&#243; foi poss&#237;vel gra&#231;as &#224; credibilidade do <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> constru&#237;da na nossa comunidade cient&#237;fica cardiol&#243;gica no Brasil e ao redor do mundo. De fato, este &#233; um resultado atingido gra&#231;as a todos os autores, revisores e editores que continuamente tem suportado e apoiado as publica&#231;&#245;es cient&#237;ficas da SBC. A todos que nos tem apoiado, gostaria de deixar um &#8220;Muito Obrigado!&#8221;</p>
    <p>Gostaria tamb&#233;m de agradecer imensamente &#224; SBC, nas pessoas dos seus Presidentes recentes que tem sido for&#231;as motrizes nesta jornada, Dr. Oscar Dutra, Dr. Marcelo Queiroga e Dr. Celso Amodeo. Novamente, &#8220;Muito Obrigado!&#8221;</p>
    <p>Ainda na SBC, nosso time de assistentes editoriais (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Figura 3</xref>) s&#227;o a verdadeira alma da nossa publica&#231;&#227;o e todos n&#243;s temos que mandar um grande &#8220;Muito Obrigado!&#8221;</p>

    <p>Trazendo alguns dados deste novo fator de impacto, os 274 artigos publicados no <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> em 2018 e 2019 receberam 548 cita&#231;&#245;es em outros artigos cient&#237;ficos. Muitas revistas internacionais de grande prest&#237;gio citaram artigos publicados no <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic>, incluindo <italic>Circulation, Journal of the American Heart Association, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Atherosclerosis</italic>, <italic>Journal of Clinical Hypertension, International Journal of Molecular Sciences</italic> e muitas outras. Os artigos citados incluem muitos artigos originais e de origem nacional e internacional, e diferentemente de anos anteriores, o fator de impacto n&#227;o foi t&#227;o dependente de cita&#231;&#245;es de diretrizes da SBC. M&#250;ltiplos artigos nacionais e internacionais tiveram n&#250;mero significativo de cita&#231;&#245;es na literatura internacional.</p>
    <p>As contribui&#231;&#245;es dos programas de p&#243;s-gradua&#231;&#227;o das universidades brasileiras foram fundamentais para nosso fator de impacto, e mais uma vez quero deixar nosso &#8220;Muito Obrigado!&#8221; As institui&#231;&#245;es nacionais que mais contribu&#237;ram para o <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> nos &#250;ltimos 3 anos s&#227;o todas de grande tradi&#231;&#227;o cient&#237;fica na Cardiologia nacional e s&#227;o demonstradas na <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Figura 4</xref>.</p>

    <body>
      <p>The Brazilian Society of Cardiology's most traditional scientific journal, with 73 years of history, <italic>Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia</italic> or <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic>, has recently reached a new level of international recognition based on its 2020 impact factor, which is a new historical record.</p>
      <p><italic>ABC Cardiol</italic>'s new impact factor is 2.0, as published by the 2020 Journal of Citation Report (JCR, Clarivate), which means that, on average, each article published in <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> was cited 2 times by other articles. This represents the impact of scientific data published in <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> in the actively productive scientific community. This index has been progressively rising over the past years, and the impact factor of 2 is not merely an isolated number (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">Figure 1</xref>).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1"><sup>1</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4"><sup>4</sup></xref> It is also highly noteworthy that <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> holds first place among cardiovascular science journals in Latin America in international rankings, such as Scopus (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f6">Figure 2</xref>).</p>

      <p>This achievement was made possible by the credibility that <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> has built in our scientific cardiology community in Brazil and worldwide. In fact, this result was achieved thanks to all the authors, reviewers, and editors who have continually supported the Brazilian Society of Cardiology's scientific journals. To all those who have supported us, I would like to say, &#8220;Thank you very much!&#8221;</p>
      <p>I would also like to thank the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, represented by the recent Presidents who have been the driving forces on this journey, Dr. Oscar Dutra, Dr. Marcelo Queiroga, and Dr. Celso Amodeo. Once again, &#8220;Thank you very much!&#8221;</p>
      <p>Also part of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, our team of editorial assistants (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f7">Figure 3</xref>) is the true soul of our journal, and we would all like to send a big, &#8220;Thank you very much!&#8221;</p>

      <p>The most important mission of this editorial is to say, &#8220;Thank you very much&#8221; to all those who are directly or indirectly involved in this wonderful result, which belongs to everyone who is part of our big cardiology community.</p>
      <p>To cite a few data related to this new impact factor, the 274 articles published in <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> in 2018 and 2019 were cited 548 times by other scientific articles. Many highly prestigious international journals have cited articles published in <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic>, including <italic>Circulation, Journal of the American Heart Association, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Atherosclerosis</italic>, <italic>Journal of Clinical Hypertension, International Journal of Molecular Sciences</italic>, and many others. The cited articles include many original Brazilian and international articles. This year's impact factor relied less on citations of Brazilian Society of Cardiology Guidelines than that of previous years. Multiple Brazilian and international articles were cited a significant number of times in the international literature.</p>
      <p>The contributions of postgraduate programs and Brazilian universities have been fundamental to our impact factor, and, once more, I would like to say, &#8220;Thank you very much!&#8221; The Brazilian institutions that contributed the most papers to <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> during the past 3 years all have long-standing traditions in Brazilian Cardiology, and they are displayed in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f8">Figure 4</xref>.</p>

      <p>Finally, the evolving quality of <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> will make it possible to expand the scope of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology's scientific publications with the creation of a family of scientific journals.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5"><sup>5</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> Recently, the Brazilian Society of Cardiology released its newest scientific journal, <italic>ABC Heart Failure &amp; Cardiomyopathy</italic>, which, in conjunction with the <italic>International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences</italic> and <italic>ABC Cardiovascular Imaging</italic>, will compose the Brazilian Society of Cardiology's initial family of publications.</p>
      <p><italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> and the Brazilian Society of Cardiology's scientific journals have a bright and exciting future ahead of them. The Brazilian Society of Cardiology's scientific journals, on account of their credibility and responsibility,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref> constitute a high quality scientific vehicle at the service of Cardiology and the worldwide scientific community, right here in Brazil.</p>
