Editorial
At the right moment when our first 2006 issue is published, I kindly acknowledge to all that contributed to Neotropical Entomology in 2005. To the Entomological Society of Brazil, in special to our president Roberto A. Zucchi, for entrusting and motivating my work. To my colleagues Sueli Martinez, Sílvia Piton Lancini, Deisi Val and Marisa Corzanego, for the dedicated and organized work. Thanks are also due to the Editorial Board Session Editors and Ad Hoc Reviewers, responsible for the maintenance of the high technical quality of the journal and, finally, to the Authors, raison d'être of Neotropical Entomology.
I also highlight the excellent work developed by Scielo, that has been promptly publishing new issues, and has started to publish the retrospective collection of the journal, the Anais da SEB.
In 2005, a significant increase in the number of submitted papers was registered: 301 new articles, 30.9 % more than in 2004, possibly a result of our recent inclusion in ISI (Institute for Scientific Information). To follow this increase, the Editorial Board and the number of articles published per issue were also increased.
From this issue on, some layout modifications were implemented and electronic communication was adopted as the only way to submit articles. That will allow us to reduce production costs and to accelerate the editorial process.
I wish a productive new year, fulfilled with accomplishments.
