Open access, authors' right, and scientific academy duty: an undelayable commitment!

Abstract

Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, two years after its editorial reformulation, including the adoption of English as its official language, has been nationally and also internationally recognized. For this very reason, new challenges have to be faced and new patterns have to be followed. Nowadays, BJPS is indexed in the most recognized databases, as Web of Science, Scielo, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, among others. Our responsibility in maintaining the quality level as required by international organs while reaching conditions for a sustainable growing has substantially increased from then on. So, it is interesting to point out some questions to be reflected by national Scientific Editors and by the scientific academy in general. Those questions have been permanently discussed in Editors meetings. We are quite sure that all of us are longing for the proper answers.
