Editorial Rochitte Interaction among Cardiovascular Scientific Journals Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 114(3):433-434 Either as a family or as “friends”, I believe that an effective collaboration between national renowned journals allows the growth of a group of journals that would not be seen by the journals alone. Hopefully, this initial and preliminary collaboration will lead to a broader discussion and closer interaction between journals with similar aims and scope. I invite everyone to think together about models that would increase the visibility of our scientific papers in the world science. Although the high quality of our scientific production is already recognized, we still need to minimize the barriers to effectively disseminate our science. This must be a joint effort of the Brazilian scientific journals. Among the actions of ABC Cardiol in this direction are the reshaping of the journal’s digital portal and the use of modern digital tools. Among them are tools that suggest similar articles in other journals when a search is carried out on its digital portal, focusing on national journals in the cardiovascular family. The opportunities are many and we have to work to take full advantage of them. 1. Rochitte CE.
