Summary
Brazilian authors should publish in national journals as many are now internationally indexed, facilitating global dissemination of research. This practice is historically rooted but no longer necessary, with examples showing significant impact.
Area of Science:
- Medical Research
- Scientific Publishing
- Brazilian Academia
Background:
- Historically, Brazilian authors have shown reluctance to publish in national journals.
- This trend is no longer justified due to advancements in Brazilian scientific publications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the importance of publishing in Brazilian journals.
- To demonstrate the international visibility and impact achievable through national publications.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of the current indexing status of Brazilian journals in international databases.
- Case study illustrating the impact of publications from Instituto do Coração - InCor-HCFMUSP.
Main Results:
- Numerous Brazilian journals are now indexed in international databases.
- English versions of these journals enable global dissemination of Brazilian research.
- Publications from Instituto do Coração - InCor-HCFMUSP have demonstrated significant impact in the past two years.
Conclusions:
- Publishing in national journals offers significant advantages for Brazilian researchers.
- International indexing and English-language versions enhance the global reach of Brazilian scientific studies.

01:30National Nursing Organizations II
Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

01:26National Nursing Organizations I
Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...
01:10Nature and Nurture
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience, such as differences...
02:02Ecological Niches
All organisms have a position within an ecosystem. The complete set of living and nonliving factors—including food resources, climate, and terrain—that define the position of a given organism are collectively referred to as the organism’s ecological niche.
01:32The Scientific Method
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

01:19What is Biodiversity?
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.
