Our latest issue is available online!

September 2019

Our  latest issue (Jul/Set 2019) is fully available in Scielo with several articles on a range  of different topics. It features 18 articles and many of them are also available in English and Spanish. In the Editor’s Note, André Felipe Cândido da Silva analyses the changes in scientific publishing, such as preprinting and open science. These changes were among the main topics discussed in the workshop held in June at Fiocruz to celebrate 25 years of our journal.

In the analyses section of our latest issue topics range from medical discourses in  nineteenth century Buenos Aires  to a study on the way science and scientists are represented in short films,  and a discussion on  the motivations of scientific groups in international cooperation. This issue also features an analysis of the arrival and identification of the African mosquito Anopheles gambiae in Brazil in 1930 and the initial reactions of scientists and public health authorities against the epidemics of malaria caused by this species. In addition,  our current edition also discusses pediatrics in Spain in the first third of the twentieth century and provides a historical critique of the rise of three diagnostic categories in mental helath: neurasthenia, neurosis and depression. Enjoy the reading!
