    <p>&#201; com muito orgulho que comunico, neste n&#250;mero, o lan&#231;amento da vers&#227;o em l&#237;ngua espanhola dos <italic>Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia</italic>. A partir de dezembro, o peri&#243;dico, hoje impresso em portugu&#234;s, passar&#225; a ter edi&#231;&#227;o eletr&#244;nica na nova l&#237;ngua, al&#233;m do ingl&#234;s, j&#225; dispon&#237;vel.</p>
    <p>A conquista &#233; resultado de uma s&#233;rie de a&#231;&#245;es realizadas com objetivo de elevar ainda mais a qualidade da publica&#231;&#227;o. Al&#233;m de atender &#224; demanda da Am&#233;rica do Sul por uma revista do padr&#227;o cient&#237;fico dos <italic>Arquivos</italic>, a proposta tamb&#233;m vem de encontro &#224; pol&#237;tica da atual diretoria da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia (SBC) de internacionaliza&#231;&#227;o da entidade, o que inclui o peri&#243;dico.</p>
    <p>E caminha-se a largos passos nessa dire&#231;&#227;o: os <italic>Arquivos</italic> acabam de ser indexados no Scopus, da Elsevier. Al&#233;m de base de dados de resumos e refer&#234;ncias bibliogr&#225;ficas, a ferramenta faz medi&#231;&#227;o, avalia&#231;&#227;o e gest&#227;o da produ&#231;&#227;o cient&#237;fica das publica&#231;&#245;es indexadas. Possui 16 mil t&#237;tulos, de mais de 4 mil editoras, com ampla cobertura internacional e atualiza&#231;&#245;es di&#225;rias.</p>
    <p>Nesse mesmo sentido, no in&#237;cio deste ano, os <italic>Arquivos</italic> tamb&#233;m foram indexados &#224; mais prestigiada base de dados internacional &#150; o Thomson Scientific, antigo ISI &#150; tornando-se o &#250;nico peri&#243;dico de cardiologia da Am&#233;rica Latina a ostentar tal reconhecimento. Al&#233;m do Scopus e do ISI, a publica&#231;&#227;o &#233; indexada no Cumulated Index Medicus da National Library of Medicine e nos bancos de dados do MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS e da SciELO com cita&#231;&#227;o no PubMed em ingl&#234;s e portugu&#234;s.</p>
    <p>A publica&#231;&#227;o ainda est&#225; prestes a elevar sua classifica&#231;&#227;o, atualmente Qualis C Internacional, pela Coordena&#231;&#227;o de Aperfei&#231;oamento de Pessoal de Ensino Superior (Capes) &#150; Medicina, tornando-se ainda mais atrativa &#224;s p&#243;s-gradua&#231;&#245;es nacionais a cujos coordenadores o peri&#243;dico prop&#244;s um pacto de prest&#237;gio para incrementar o fator de impacto da revista.</p>
    <p>A id&#233;ia &#233; oferecer &#224; comunidade cient&#237;fica internacional e aos pesquisadores, sobretudo brasileiros, uma revista com alto &#237;ndice de impacto, ou seja, um canal natural para publica&#231;&#227;o de suas descobertas, reconhecido pelas ag&#234;ncias de fomento nos processos de concess&#227;o de bolsas e aux&#237;lios.</p>
    <p>&#201; nessa atmosfera, coroada de &#234;xito, em que est&#227;o sendo comemorados os 60 anos dos <italic>Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia</italic>, completos este ano, e em que ser&#225; realizado o IV Pr&#234;mio ABC de Produ&#231;&#227;o Cient&#237;fica. Como forma de incentivar a pesquisa cardiovascular no Brasil, a publica&#231;&#227;o premia, desde 2005, os melhores artigos originais publicados em dez diferentes &#225;reas no per&#237;odo de um ano.</p>

      <p>I am very proud to announce, in this number, the launching of the <italic>Brazilian Archives of Cardiology</italic> in the Spanish language. The journal is currently published in Portuguese and has an electronic version in English. As from next December, it will also have a Spanish electronic version.</p>
      <p>This achievement is the result of a number of initiatives aiming to raise still further the level of quality of the journal. Besides answering to the requirements of South Latin? American professionals, by providing access to a highly qualified journal, the proposal also contributes to the policy of the Board of Directors of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (BSC) in terms of internationalization of the Society, which includes the Journal.</p>
      <p>Already there is steady progress in this direction: the <italic>Archives</italic> has just been indexed in Elsevier's Scopus. The database comprises abstracts and bibliographical references, and also allows the measurement, evaluation and management of the scientific production of authors with indexed publications. It includes 16 thousand titles, from over four thousand publishers, with wide international coverage and daily updating.</p>
      <p>In another important advance, the <italic>Archives</italic> was indexed, in the beginning of this year, by the most prestigious international database - the Thomson Scientific, formerly ISI &#150; and is now the only Cardiology journal in Latin America to have this level of recognition. Besides Scopus and Thomson Scientific, the journal is also indexed in the Cumulated Index Medicus of the National Library of Medicine, and in the database of MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS and SciELO, with PubMed citations in English and Portuguese.</p>
      <p>The classification of the journal, currently set as International Qualis C, is also to be upgraded by Coordena&#231;&#227;o de Aperfei&#231;oamento de Pessoal de Ensino Superior (CAPES) &#150; Medicine. That will make the journal even more attractive for the publication of studies performed in Brazilian Post-Graduate Programs. To stimulate this interaction, the <italic>Archives</italic> has established a Prestige agreement with coordinators of these Programs, to further increase the impact factor of the journal.</p>
      <p>Our plan is to offer to the international scientific community and to researchers, particularly in Brazil, a journal with high impact factor and recognized by the funding agencies in processes leading to the awarding of scholarships and research grants. The journal must therefore represent a natural channel for the publication of original work.</p>
      <p>In this highly successful environment, we celebrate the 60<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the <italic>Brazilian Archives of Cardiology</italic>. This year the journal promotes the IV BSC Scientific Productivity Award, an initiative aiming to stimulate the research in Cardiovascular Sciences in Brazil by selecting the best original studies published in ten different areas, during the period of one year.</p>
      <p>The winners of this year's contest will be announced on December 6, in a ceremony in S&#227;o Paulo. All studies published during 2008 are nominated for the award, which will contemplate the following areas: Atherosclerosis / Dyslipidemia; Cardiac Arrhythmia / Pacemaker; Basic / Experimental Research; General Cardiology; Pediatric Cardiology; Epidemiology; Arterial Hypertension; Heart Failure; Interventionist Cardiology and Surgery; Non-Invasive Diagnostic Methods.</p>
      <p>We count on your participation in 2009! Send your original work for publication in the <italic>Brazilian Archives of Cardiology</italic> and help to divulge Brazilian research activities.</p>
