- Description:
- In November 1988, the PUCRS Journal of Medicine was launched, with the aim of disseminating the scientific production of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul. In 2004, the "Scientia Medica Project" brought in its context the new name of the journal Scientia Medica. Its main objective was to stimulate the scientific production of professors, professionals, graduate and undergraduate medical students, research institutes and health courses, both at the University and in other regions of the country. From this, the magazine opened its borders and began to accept articles from multiple institutions. In 2006, Scientia Medica had a new editorial board. That same year, the Electronic Magazine Publishing System (SEER) was implemented, which made the editorial process easier and more practical. Both print and electronic formats always contained the same scientific content. Between 2006 and 2015 the publication showed considerable development, increasing the geographic reach of its collaborators, achieving internationalization and obtaining several important indexes. In 2015, it closed the print edition, whose ISSN was 1806-5562, and was only published electronically.
