The editor’s note of our latest issue (vol. 29, no 2 /Apr-Jun 2022) celebrates the journal’s activities over the past year.
In 2021 HCS – Manguinhos published its four regular issues as well as a special issue, entitled “Unbalanced reciprocities: the history of relationships between animals”, whose guest editors were Regina Horta Duarte, Gabriel Lopes, Natascha Stefania Carvalho De Ostos, and Nelson Aprobato Filho. We also published a noteworthy dossier entitled “The ‘milk question’ in Latin America: experts, markets, and public policies in the twentieth century,” edited by the researchers Sören Brinkmann and José Buschini.
In early 2021, we announced new instructions for authors that included the adoption of open science guidelines, an important change in our editorial policy. Throughout the year we continued to publish texts in the “Testimonies covid-19” and “Historiographic review” sections by historians from Brazil and abroad. During 2021, 165 submissions were received from Brazil and 120 from other countries, most of them coming from Spain, the United States, Argentina, Chile, and Mexico.
“We believe that this national diversity reflects our efforts at internationalization, which involve translating texts into English and boosting communication via the social networks,” says the letter.
There were 178 posts on the Brazilian História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos blog, and 142 posts in English and Spanish in 2021. These posts included interviews with authors of the articles published in the journal, reports on the world of academic publishing, as well as news from the Casa de Oswaldo Cruz and Fiocruz.
