Since the creation of REBEn in 1932, formerly entitled Annaes de Enfermagem, each management board of the Brazilian Nursing Association has sought its improvement, striving for the journal not only monitor, but meets the demands of each time. The indexation in SciELO collection ensured the visibility and the internationalization of REBEn, arousing interest by foreign, mainly Latin-Americans, for publishing their research results.
Particularly in the last eight years, there was a sharp increase in academic production, as a result of the expansion and internalization of post-graduate courses in nursing across our country. The use of the online submission system increased the amount of original papers submitted per year. Today, there are 25 articles published in REBEn in every issue, totaling 150 per year, of which 80% are derived from research. The quantitative links to the need for expansion space for the dissemination of scientific knowledge that has been generated in the area, so that other researchers and other users of knowledge, in a continuous and inexhaustible cycle, absorb and innovate. The Brazilian Nursing Association, committed to scientific and technological development and also with innovation, must respond to scientific community, offering more space for spreading the knowledge produced.
On the eve of the celebration of REBEn's 80th anniversary, we present the following Plan of Goals for the triennium 2010-2013: a) professionalization of the administrative internal procedures and streamlining the evaluation process; b) establishment of partnerships to accelerate the process of inserting the journal in the international scientific community; c) study of feasibility of trilingual publication; d) expansion of REBEn in electronic format (e-REBEn); e) increasing the number of articles published per year; f) expansion of indexing for other high impact international databases.
We invite readers, authors, board of editors, ad hoc consultants and all other participants in the publishing of REBEn to take along with us, the social responsibility of this process.
