Revista de Estudios Brasileños

With this issue 13 of the Revista de Estudios Brasileños we close our 2019 editorial. This issue presents a dossier on the 2018 Elections in Brazil, coordinated by professors Rodrigo Rodrigues-Silveira (University of Salamanca, USAL, Spain); Sonia Terron (Institute of Social and Political Studies of the University of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil); and Emerson Urizzi Cervi (Federal University of Paraná, UFPR, Brazil).One of REB’s major challenges has been to expand its academic impact and social relevance in order to strengthen its fundamental objective: to be a communication vehicle to produce knowledge about Brazil in Spain. The entire process, from the submission of an article to its final publication, requires a series of tasks, first, an extreme respect for the intellectual production of the authors; and, integrity, transparency, quality of evaluations and, finally, publication. In addition to the publication on the journal platform, provided by USAL’s periodical publications service, the articles are also available on the journal platform of the University of São Paulo (SIBi) and in the institutional repository of USAL (Gredos), ensuring their wide dissemination and survival. Finally, we have made progress in bibliometric indicators, which are tools that help to understand the scope of the articles’ profile and of their readers; we have also maintained the dissemination degree of our published articles.We cannot conclude this presentation text without reiterating our deep gratitude to the authors who have shared their work in our journal and, especially, the invaluable collaboration of a large number of reviewers.
