From January 2016 on, CEFAC Journal will be a publication of ABRAMO's (Brazilian Association of Orofacial Motricity). We are glad to receive this honored invitation to take charge of the scientific publishing company of this important journal in our science. We would like to congratulate and value ABRAMO's board of directors by the assertive and daring decision of being responsible for the journal. Also, we would like to thank the important task assigned to us as new scientific editors.
As scientific editors and members of ABRAMO's current board, we intend to keep the journal's mission of registering the scientific production on relevant issues of Speech Pathology, Audiology and correlated areas. We acknowledge CEFAC's great contribution in publicizing the Brazilian speech pathology and audiology production, and, particularly, its importance in the publications of resulting products of post-graduation programs accredited in CAPES's 21st field.
Thus, we welcome articles from all specialties of speech pathology and audiology and its areas, a policy which is one of the main characteristics of our journal to be maintained. We hope the researchers and professionals be stimulated to send us the outcomes of their researches carried out in all regions where speech pathology and audiology play an important role.
The advances in the quality of CEFAC's publications derive from the work of all scientific editors who led this important journal in the last 17 years. Our special thanks to Drs. Vicente José Assêncio-Ferreira, Kátia Nemr, Ana Lúcia de Magalhães Leal Chiappetta, Esther Mandelbaum Gonçalves Bianchini, and more recently, Dr. Simone Aparecida Capellini, for elevating the publication level of our science. You are our source of inspiration in the quest of new indexing advances for the coming years.
It is important to highlight that the beginning of this history took place with Drs. Irene Marchesan and Jaime Zorzi, directors of CEFAC - Health and Education, who along the existence of the journal were responsible for idealization and, mainly, financed its issuing. Therefore, ABRAMO has the great responsibility of carrying on writing this history of competence. We are sure that by following these good examples, we will reach our goals.
Finally, may we, researchers and professionals, who have the great mission to seek better quality of life and human communication conditions, through our research, have a successful new year. May these researches result in quality products to be shown in future articles, which we will gladly present to our editorials.
Cordially,
Hilton Justino e Giédre Berretin-Felix Editor chefe e co-editora
