Dear Professors
Roberta Gonçalves da Silva and Ana Luiza Navas,
Over the last four years I have been witnessing the tremendous efforts of CoDAS to achieve international visibility, which has been successfully accomplished. I am sure the Brazilian Society of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology is proud of the hard and serious work you have been dedicating to CoDAS.
One of the most recent strategies was the adoption of an internationally recognized online submission system, ScholarOne, which has already contributed to increase the number of international authors and reviewers.
Recently, I took the opportunity to search this journal for reports of randomized controlled trials and I was really glad to see the vast strides that have been made by CoDAS and, in particular, the requirement that all trials to be published in the journal should have been prospectively registered according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) policies.
The decision to publish articles written entirely in English was instrumental in achieving the indexations in prestigious databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) as well as in attracting foreign contributions.
Congratulations on an excellent journal. Finally, I am quite confident that CoDAS truly deserves to be indexed in other important databases such as Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports (JCR), Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and others.
Yours sincerely,
Carlos Ferreira Santos
