Abstract

Saúde e Sociedade, in its 22nd volume, is consolidated and outstanding as a scientific publication with regularity and great reach in the field of public and collective health in its interface with social and human sciences. It is well established in Brazil and has an increasing international insertion. The journal has published papers coming from around twenty different areas of evaluation of the CAPES PostGraduate Programs. Their new Qualis Journals classification places Saúde e Sociedade in a prominent position in some of these areas, such as Environment and Geography Sciences, with a A2 grade. In Collective Health area, Saúde e Sociedade has been graded as B1, among other important journals with comparable profiles. This year begins with new sections in the journal. Editors will organize Thematic Dossiers, presenting texts originated from innovative research or essays written by invited authors, in order to lead the discussion about emergent themes in Public and Collective Health. In this number, the Dossier discusses knowledge production at the interface between Social Sciences and Public / Collective Health, presenting the results of a Round Table organized by us in 2012. Its objective was to evoke the debate about what is new in this interface that could guide the difficult job of the journal's editors.
