Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery This historical issue kicks off celebrations after 30 years of continuous publication of the Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular, known today as the Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery (BJCVS). These 30 years represent the history of our Society. The journal was founded by idealists led by Dr. Adib Jatene, and they represent the pioneers of cardiac surgery in Brazil and South America. Professor Adib was the Editor-in-Chief for the first 10 years, from 1986 to 1996. Our current President followed in his footsteps, showing his permanent dedication to the Brazilian Society of Cardiovascular Surgery (BSCVS). Prof. Fabio Jatene was the Editor-in-Chief during 6 years, from 1996 to 2002. In 2002, I put myself at disposal and I have been the Editorin-chief since then. Due to our growth and complexity, our Associated Editors currently play a bigger role, in which they are responsible for the entire process of dealing with the articles they are attributed. The Editor-in-Chief still has the final word. Space limitations do not allow me to name every single person that has worked, without pay or advantage, for the greater good of the BJCVS. I ask all the coleagues to access at the journal’s webpage at www.bjcvs.org, in the “Editorial Board” session to see the names of those who throughout our history have gone to great lengths to create and maintain the BJCVS and that is why they deserve to be praised by all. In addition, at the end of every issue, all our reviewers are listed, to whom I pay tribute for sacrificing their leisure time not only to review the manuscripts, but especially to guide the authors who show potential, helping them conform to scientific methods, to the guidelines of the journal and standard language, thereby acting as professors. This kind of attitude has gradually improved the level of our publications, though we still have to improve our work. Changing the name of the journal on its 30 anniversary was a difficult decision, but a necessary one in order to meet the needs of a new international reality. Nowadays, English is the lingua franca of scientific communication. We could not be tied down by nostalgia, remaining unread and not understood by the international community. You are witness to the care we took to make this transition. EDITORIAL
