"Journal of Hospital Pharmacy and Health Services: Ampliando Horizontes, Fortalecendo Redes Globais"

Throughout its fifteen-year history, the Revista Brasileira de Farmcia Hospitalar e Servios de Sade (RBFHSS) has undergone several transformations to adapt to changes in scientific communication and advancements in pharmaceutical care, particularly regarding the clinical role of pharmacists.Over the years, the journal has also stood out for its multidisciplinary approach, remaining committed to excellence and the promotion of best practices in medication use, thus contributing to the development of the pharmacy field in Brazil.More recently, the journal has become an important communication channel for Cosudefh (South American Coordination for the Development of Hospital Pharmacy) and has joined the International Collaboration of Pharmacy Journal Editors (ICPJE).Scientific journals internationalization in Latin America is essential to increasing the visibility and impact of the region's academic production.This process enables local research to gain global recognition, fostering the integration of Latin American scientists into the international scientific community.Additionally, internationalization contributes to diversifying perspectives and methodologies in research, enriching global scientific knowledge.By publishing in international journals, Latin American researchers enhance collaboration and funding opportunities, strengthening the region's scientific infrastructure.To increase the visibility and quality of its articles-and consequently strengthen hospital pharmacy in Latin America-the editorial team initiated an internationalization process.The first step was translating all articles (submitted in Portuguese or Spanish) into English, the lingua franca of scientific communication.This investment, funded by SBRAFH, has allowed publications to reach professionals worldwide since 2018.More recently, the need to adopt an English-language title became evident, both to expand dissemination and to reflect the journal's evolution, as it had long ceased to be exclusively Brazilian.
