Abstract
Braz J Cardiovasc Surg | Rev Bras Cir Cardiovasc he Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery (BJCVS) has one more reason to celebrate: finally we have been indexed in PubMed Central – PMC (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/), on-line repository, free access of publications on health area, basis of 3.3 million of full content articles provided by 4.916 journals[1] which BJCVS is part of them now. It is one more platform we are present and I am confident that with the adoption of English language as the official language and the changing from quarterly to bimonthly, it will allow the Journal to be more recognized, accessed, attracting new readers and consequently more people will be interested in publishing their articles making our Impact Factor (IF) could grow again. The presence on PMC is one more award of the work performed since the beginning of my supervision as a Chief-Editor of BJCVS in 2002, in order to provide the journal a wider recognition in the international scenario. Since 2005, the submission and review of the manuscripts have been performed by our website (www.bjcvs.org), we have achieved the indexation in important databases such as PubMed/Medline, ISI-Thomson-Reuters, Scopus, and now PMC. It has been a tough task but pleasant and I feel glad for reaching this current level. It was only possible thanks to the support of the Editorial Staff and also the Brazilian Society of Cardiovascular Surgery (SBCCV), through the several Board of Directors ahead our Society during this time where they have never denied any support or motivation. I also cannot forget to praise my predecessors such as the late Prof. Dr. Adib Jatene, founder of BJCVS and Prof. Dr. Fabio Jatene, who, with a lot of effort have overcame several obstacles to keep a national journal dedicated to heart surgery. I cannot forget to mention GN1, our partner for 10 years, whose support and expertise in Information Technology were essential for our approval at PMC. GN1 is also responsible for creating the files of BJCVS in XML extension, a type of language that allows the sharing through the Internet of information Editorial
