EDITORIAL

Dear Readers,

As a former undergraduate student from Bauru School of Dentistry (FOB), University of São Paulo, I am honored to accept the challenge of being appointed as the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Oral Science (JAOS).

I already have a list of goals and ideas for JAOS. The first, and probably the most important, is the online submission system. I hope that soon we will have it available because this will certainly facilitate and speed up the reviewing process of the works submitted for possible publication in the journal. Another idea is to have the invited reviews back in order to cover a wide range of topics. Also, it will be important to expand the international editorial board.

I will always try to do my best to JAOS achieve higher scientific standards, and I will certainly try to make it even better. At this time, I do have to recognize all the wonderful work that Dr. Ricardo Marins de Carvalho and Dr. José Mauro Granjeiro, the former editors, did for JAOS. Their devotion has put our journal in a much respected position in our country, and now my main challenge is to expand this achievement through the international recognition. It is always important to remember all the support our former editors had from Professor Maria Fidela de Lima Navarro, former dean of FOB, to make JAOS such a good journal.

In this opportunity, I also have to thank for all the support and encouragement that Professor Luiz Fernando Pegoraro, the current dean of FOB, has given me in this initial phase of my work.

All the team of JAOS hopes the readers enjoy this edition. We also hope to come up with good news in a brief time. Please, feel free to send your suggestions and opinions to us by e-mail ([e-mail]).

With best regards,

Carlos F. Santos

Editor-in-Chief
