ARCHIVES OF GASTROENTEROLOGY: 60 YEARS OF EDITORIAL TRADITION

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia: 60 anos de tradição editorial

The Archives of Gastroenterology will complete 60 years of existence. The publication of original articles has considerably increased and feed the connection with foreign authors, making it an interesting option for researchers from developing countries.

The journal has more than 500 reviewers to whom we constantly thank the voluntary and anonymous contribution to improve the content of the articles submitted.

We are looking to adopt new publishing tools, such as the E-videos section that proved very interesting and sought after.

We announce soon a change of layout and form of presentation of the articles. A more modern interface and with more interaction with the reader. An example of this will be the adoption of the table “key points”, which highlights the main characteristics of the article, giving highlight to the points of interest to the reader.

We remind that this journal has no promotion of any public institution and seeks to maintain its ecumenical character with the scientific community. Over the years we maintain the initial precepts of the magazine and one of them is not to monetize publications. In view of the current scenario, the journal’s production costs increased considerably, but even so, the IBEPEGE Executive Board and the journal’s Editorial Committee for the time being rejected the adoption of the practice of “Article Processing Charges”. To maintain the journal’s preservation policy within international standards and ensure the continuity of editorial quality, we emphasize that we will maintain the manuscripts selection rigors adopted^1,2.

In this way we believe that the Archives of Gastroenterology can continue its actions in the scientific universe promoting, as far as possible, new tools and products contributing to researchers and assisting our readers.
