EDITORIAL BOARD

28. The Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria is now a quarterly publication with two additional supplements dealing with topics of clinical practice and directed to update clinicians and mental health professionals. The journal costs around US$ 200,000 yearly, but 90% of these costs are covered by the pharmaceutical industry (the remaining comes from the Brazilian Research Council). RBP’s acceptation index reaches now 30%of submitted articles. RBP

29. Inclusion of members in the editorial board based on scientific productivity in the last five years. An international board comprised by recognized investigators and truly related to the journal activities. A rigid publishing timetable supported by a reliable income and stable editorial staff including clear succession plans. Publishing original articles in English with free electronic access, and publishing educational and review articles in the original language. Another important procedure was to invest in training current staff as well as future members of editorial teams. Since 2004, the journal created three trainee editor positions for young investigators. Each of them works together with two senior editors learning the skills of scientific and peer review editing.

30. Our activity has been developed in great harmony with ABP (Brazilian Psychiatry Association), reflecting a mature and understanding of its institutional role. We also have to acknowledge that no progress could have been accomplished without the quantitative and qualitative growth of the Brazilian scientific production (associated to the expansion of post- graduate programs) and to the subsequent formation of researchers in the country, which has been translated not only in the submission of high-quality articles, but also in the high level of discernment of our reviewers.
