Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia and Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia: perspectives for the next four years

Abstract

The Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia (JBP) is the leading journal in the field of respiratory medicine in Latin America. It is well established as a major scientific journal in Brazil, and its international visibility has gradually increased. Recent positive results were made possible by the efforts of JBP editors and reviewers, as well as by the unconditional support of the Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia (SBPT, Brazilian Thoracic Association), which is currently the primary supporter of the JBP.
