RESI AT QUALIS

Abstract

RESI was assessed for the first time by the Brazilian graduate agency in November 2010.

Unfortunately, although the committee acknowledged its quality by granting it a B4 grade (jumbing two of the introductory levels), the editors (and we believe also our readers), believe that it deserves more than that.

For that reason, we filed a reconsideration request in which we show that many of the authors that had papers published by RESI during the last three years only publish in A, B1 and B2 journals. RESI is the only exception because they probably believe it is as good as those or has the potential to qickly become so. The reconsideration request is available by clicking on <PDF>, but it is, unfortunately, only available in Portuguese. We expect that the committee reviews the journal again and, hopefully, provide us with a better evaluation.

If you have any comment about the quality of this journal that you wish to make public and you think that would provide us with further arguments to persuit with the attempt of getting a better assessment, please sent it to us and we will try to publish it in the journal's cover, so that it can be seen by the evaluation committee.

Thank you for the support over the years, we will keep doing our best.
