Abstract

We could not have better news to share with all of you! We are pleased to inform you that the Journal of Applied Oral Science (JAOS) has been selected to be indexed and included in MEDLINE. Citations from articles indexed, the indexing terms, and the English abstracts printed in the JAOS, starting from the first issue of 2008, will be included and searchable using PubMed. Additionally, links will be included for the free full texts available at http:// www.scielo.br/jaos. Undoubtedly, this accomplishment will be instrumental to increase the journal's international visibility, our main goal. The indexation of the JAOS in MEDLINE, ISI Web of Knowledge (SCIE™), SciELO and SCOPUS, among other important databases, confirms our commitment to hard and serious work as well as respect for all the authors who submit their manuscripts for possible publication in the JAOS. We are aware that our responsibility is even greater now, but we face this moment with high motivation. We understand we are moving towards the right direction since the standards of distinguished international databases have been reached by the JAOS.
