Welcome to JBCS

Editorial - The dream is still alive...
 
We are highly pleased to publish issue # 1 of the 20th volume of the Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, JBCS.
 
We are celebrating twenty continuous years of a scientific journal published in English in Brazil. That 1987 dream, when the planning for the journal started, came to be a challenge in 1990, with the releasing of the first JBCS issue. The scenario and expectations of that time are reflected in two parts of the first JBCS editorial, written by Professor Eduardo Motta Alves Peixoto, its founder and first Editor:
 
"In Brazil, as in many other countries, it has been immensely difficult to establish a balance between national development and the investment in chemistry. It is still commonly thought that economic growth necessarily and justifiably entails the sacrifice of basic research. A change of mentality is required, with the more active and purposeful participation of industries, government and the scientific community, so that by the year 2000 scientific research may be managed realistically and effectively..."
 
"...Our mission and our commitment are to the present and future generations, safeguarding the prosperity and welfare of the world with the best in the chemical research. Not just a new international journal."
