EDITORIAL

REM closes this year in a positive manner and is preparing to commemorate its 78th anniversary this coming January.

During the XIV Encounter of Scientific Editors (XIV Encontro dos Editores Científicos), some of the lecturers approached the issues of: 1) the importance of a periodical's good reputation, along with that of its editors, and 2) the main points for it to become international. They stated that everything is connected to ideas that can improve its status and make it a worldwide communication and information tool for those interested in science. The idea is to broaden circulation of the publication, so that its articles can be read and utilized throughout the world.

With this in mind, REM has adopted a new system– ScholarOne – that places it in the direction recommended by various national and foreign editors. The referred-to system helps to better-control the articles and proportions their quicker analysis, a problem that is ever present in the daily job of the publication staff.

In addition, we cannot finish this year without saying thanks to the companies and CNPq/Capes who have supported us along the year. Once again, this group, together with FAPEMIG, have just approved support for REM in the coming year.

Finally the staff from REM thanks the authors, readers, referees, and collaborators for turning this publication into an ever better magazine.
