Abstract

The University of São Paulo presently edits around 200 titles; 58 of them are journals accredited by the Accreditation Commission, part of the USP's Scientific and Periodic Publication Support Program / Integrated Library System (SIBI), managed by the rectory. The others are on the USP's Portal of Journals. Only 10 of those are indexed at ISI (Thomson Reuters) and 24 on Scopus. What's the importance of these numbers? The importance is that when counting the national scientific production, for purposes of international classification, only articles published on these bases are taken into account. Aiming to increase worldwide visibility of USP´s scientific production, the Journals Accreditation Commission has been orienting the editors and providing considerable resources for international projection of the magazines. In consonance with aforementioned objectives, Saúde e Sociedade / Health and Society is determined to increase its internationality by selecting some of the articles presented on native language for translation to English. Keeping up with the important internationalization moment, Health and Society's editors encourage authors to take into account today's questions of local impact on a context of globalization in the field of scientific investigation and publication.
