Abstract

Welcome to BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY (JBNC), the official journal of the Brazilian Academy of Neurosurgery, is the oldest Neurosurgery journal in our country. It started in 1973 with the name of “Seara Médica Neurocirúrgica” and, since the beginning, it has been an extremely important information organ for Brazilian neurosurgeons. Brazil is the country with the third largest number of neurosurgeons in the world. Despite this large number of colleagues working in the specialty, we still do not have any journal indexed in PubMedTM, which is considered the most important database for medical journals in the world.
