The Revista Argentina de Medicina Respiratoria has
been published uninterruptedly since 2001. DurÂing all this
time, despite the difficulties, it has achieved an important
place in pulmonology-related literature
in Argentina and the Spanish-speaking countries. One of our objectives
is to continue on this path
and be internationally recognized.
This year, the RAMR, with the approval of the Board of Directors,
has proposed a series of improveÂments
in order to optimize its editorial level and aspire to
get indexed in PubMed.
The most important improvement is that each
issue will be fully translated into English. There will also be a pdf redesign, with
more modern, color-managed documents, and we will have a proofreader
for articles in Spanish. Starting from the June issue,
we will include
the ORCIDs (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) of
the authors, and every citation will have its
DOI (Digital Object Identifier).
In a short time from now, there will be one
DOI for every article in the magazine.
Another valuable tool we are working
on is the
incorporation of the OJS
(Open Journal System), an open-source software for scientific journal editors that most indexed
scientific journals have. This software facilitates the management and publication of
online manuscripts. The authors will be able to send their
articles through this system and follow the peer review process online.
We have a long way to go
before we obtain the PUBMED indexing; many national and international journals weren’t able to get there.
There are only a few national journals
indexed in PubMed, but we believe
we have the
possibility to achieve it if we
deliver serious, sustainable work.
We want to thank the authors
for sending us their work
and hope we can reach our goal.
