Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde: análise do percurso histórico em comemoração aos seus 40 anos

Abstract

Scientific publication undergoes significant transformations over time, both in terms of increasingly expanded access and in the content of the publications themselves, which reflect the transformations, challenges, and achievements of society. These publications thus play a crucial role in producing and disseminating knowledge. This study aimed to highlight the history of the Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde, emphasizing the changes and new directions it has taken. With 40 years of existence, the bilingual journal has published approximately 1,300 articles, and indexed in over 20 databases. The importance of scientific journals, particularly the history of publications that narrate the constructions and reconstructions within the field of health promotion and collective health, contributes to guiding future processes, which, while no less challenging, are essential in the pursuit of a more just, diverse, and equitable society.
