Editorial.

AutorCarneiro, Jorge

Dear BAR Readers,

It is my pleasure to announce some important advances along BAR's path to becoming a truly international journal.

BAR has recently become a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)--www.publicationethics.org, http://publicationethics.org/category/country/brazil. This important step means that BAR subscribes to the most rigorous principles of publication ethics and can now count on the advice of the best experts on the subject. The fact that BAR has always followed, and fostered, ANPAD's Good Practices in Scientific Publication (Boas Praticas de Publicacao Cientifica) certainly was paramount for COPE to accept BAR as a member.

BAR has also recently filed an application to be included in the Web of Knowledge database (http://wokinfo.com/) in order to have an impact factor published by JCR (Journal Citation Reports) in the future. The entire evaluation process by the Web of Knowledge expert team may take between one and two years. If we are granted inclusion in this important database, BAR's international visibility will increase substantially.

BAR shall soon start using ScholarOne (http://scholarone.com/), an editorial platform known worldwide that is used by several top-tier journals. Offered to BAR and to other Brazilian journals as part of the support provided by SciELO (http://www.scielo.org), ScholarOne shall improve the manuscript submission and review processes, as well as the editorial decision process.

I am also glad to announce that new Associate Editors have joined BAR. Counting on Associate Editors from several countries brings more international visibility to BAR and also improves the evaluation process of manuscripts submitted to the journal. Here are the distinguished scholars who are currently BAR Associate Editors:

  1. Catherine Welch (University of Sydney, Australia)

  2. Claude Obadia (ESCE, France)

  3. Flavia Cavazotte (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

  4. Flavio Menezes (University of Queensland, Australia)

  5. Jean-Francois Chanlat (HEC Montreal, Canada)

  6. Jose Pla Barber (University of Valencia, Spain)

  7. Ricardo Leal (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

  8. Sergio Biggemann (University of Otago, New Zealand)

  9. Sumit Kundu (Florida International University, USA)

  10. Sylvie Chetty (University of Otago, New Zealand)

  11. Thomas Brashear Alejandro (University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA)

  12. Vitor Corado Simoes (Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal)

I would like to add...
