Professor Mauricio Rocha e Silva, Editor at Clinics Magazine, from University of Sao Paulo's School of Medicine's Clinical Hospital, posts a warning on his editorial published on the first Clinics Magazine, issue of January 2011, and thoroughly copied in this issue with Editorial II under the author's written approval, which is registered in this article. We suggest you read this article, since Professor Mauricio magnificently illustrates the evaluation of national scientific magazines performed by CAPES by way of a critical reflection of the three 'r', pursuing to show that SCImago and SciELO impact factors must also be recognized by QUALIS. Should this goal be achieved, all the magazines making any impact on SCImago and SciELO, which are presently not found in QUALIS, shall have justice done and their qualities and contributions to science treasured.

In the year 2011, International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology Journal shall reward works of systematic review (Metanalysis), in an attempt to place emphases on models of articles that form the foundations and concepts of the universal knowledge.

The competitors' works shall be published mandatorily in the year 2011's volume 15's fascicles 1-4. Rules to compete for prizes are included in this magazine.

We look forward to seeing you in our magazine soon, in upcoming issues.


Warm regards,
