Online Brazilian Journal of Nursing, as all peer-reviewed journals, cannot function without the assistance of these people, who take the time from their busy lives to study a manuscript and write a review. Your expertise and voluntary work gave us conditions to share freely the nursing knowledge and to empower our profession!

The comments of the reviewers play an important role in our decision on whether to accept a paper and invariably make those we do accept better.  We hope that we will stay together in 2006. 

We also extend our  thanks to the authors who submitted manuscripts for consideration in OBJN. We work hard to ensure that the evaluation of each manuscript was double-blind and objective.

The quality of the papers submitted to OBJN along with the rigorous nature and timeliness of the peer review process are reflected in our statistic page. The number of articles submitted continued to increase, while the overall time from manuscript receipt to publication has steadily decreased with our new Web-based system. Now, for 2006, we have to improve  the OBJN impact factor.
