This article describes the creation of the very first scientific electronic journal of Industrial Engineering in Brazil, making explicit all the actions that were taken to keep this journal working as an alternative for publishing scientific material on the web. The Journal Produção Online is put out by the Production Engineering Department of Santa Catarina's Federal University. This article also draws attention to the fact that publishing through this media has lower costs than printed journals, as well as making scientific publication faster. The electronic tools that have been used in this experience help to select articles to be published and are also a way of making it easier for researchers to read and submit articles to this journal as well as improving scientific communication.
