In these ten years, the journal published 202 articles, both in dossiers and in the free thematic session, and 38 journalistic book reviews. Summing up, 253 authors have already had their articles published. 189 Brazilians and 64 foreigners. This result was possible thanks to the dedication of a large number of collaborators, member of the Editorial Board, partners and invited editors, coordinated by
