Dear friends and collaborators,

We would like to share more good news on the path towards the improvement and excellence of scientific production published by Acta Ortopédica Brasileira.

In 2020 we presented 1.03 in cites per doc by Scopus-SCImago Journal Rank.

Another notable result published by SCImago is the increase in the H index; we reached the highest value in Latin America in the area of orthopedics, with H-19. This metric is applied to estimate the productivity and impact of scientific journals that are part of the Scopus collection.

We take the opportunity to invite all editors, reviewers and authors to value the production of academic research from master’s and doctoral investigations by citing the manuscripts accepted by Acta Ortopédica Brasileira in their scientific productions published in other journals in Brazil and worldwide.

As researchers and authors of renowned international journals with high impact factor, we can add to the reference base of our articles the production of our competent colleagues and compatriots, stimulating the deserved recognition of Brazilian journals with increased citation numbers of our research and dissemination of national scientific improvement.

My best regards

Professor Olavo Pires de Camargo
