After 48 months as Chief Editor of the Anna Nery School Journal of Nursing, in the period from July of 2003 to July of 2007, we are passing the position to the PhD Professor Antonio Jose de Almeida Filho, who will be Chief Editor, at least, in next four years. During the management that finishes, the goal adopted for the Journal was to search its qualification as national periodic of nursing, health and similar areas, aspirating the internationality.
This search was operated through a publishing improvement summarized by: (a) adoption of instructions for the publication of manuscripts according to Vancouver style; (b) magnifying of national and international authors of manuscripts, that represented a diversity of position and thoughts; (c) implantation of an another publishing project for the Journal; (d) its register in representative/significant international indexators for the Areas of Nursing and Health and others; (d) creation and consolidation of easy strategies of the publishing flow of the manuscripts presented to the Journal; and (e) its financial maintenance through requests to the agencies of promotion, complementary way of financing decurrent of signatures and unconditional support from the Direction and General Coordination of the Postgraduation Learning and Research of the Anna Nery School of Nursing/UFRJ.
With exception of the last editorial improvement, all others had reached, also that some of them in partial way. In this direction, adopted in 2004, the instructions according to Vancouver syntonized the Journal with the trends present in the editorial movement of national periodics of the Nursing and the instrumentalization for its internationalization. The representation of national authors of manuscripts was fully reached. E, even so the Journal still needs to extend the authors of other countries beyond the contemplated ones, it already publishes innumerable international manuscripts. Implanted in 2004, the editorial project allowed that the nursing community received a new visual presentation from the Journal in tunning with the more current editorial movements.
The Journal was indexed in the Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) of U.S.A., and in the CUIDEN of the Fundación Index - of Spain, rescued in the LATINDEX of the Sistema Regional de Información en Línea para Revistas Científicas de América Latina, el Caribe, Espanha y Portugal - do México, and classified as the International Periodic C in evaluation QUALIS of the Commission of Team Improvement of High Education of the Ministry of the Education and Sport of Brazil. A revision of the Regiment of the Journal in 2004 was carried through resulting in a new Regulation, that originated the Editorial Commission. It was extended in new revision of the Regulation carried through in 2007. And the publishing of the Journal every three months was adopted in 2006 significantly increased the editorial space offered for the publication of manuscripts. These two last strategies had configured in ways for the flow of manuscripts efficiency.
It is essential the recognition of that this whole work would be impossible, without the necessary supports. In this direction, we are thankful to the Director of the Anna Nery School of Nursing, to its Coordinator of the Postgraduation Education and Research, to the members of the Editorial Council and of Ad Hoc Consultants, to the members of the Editorial Commission of the Journal, as well as the members of its Administrative Commission. All these people had contributed in basic way for the implanted improvements could confer a bigger editorial quality to the Anna Nery School Journal of Nursing. In the management that now initiates desiring the best accomplishments.
