world, which have undergone a process of peer review.
As
chief editor of IJM&P, I am indebted to all members of the editorial board
and reviewers, which contributed to achieve a very decent job during the
evaluation and revision. Moreover, that they have contributed to the Journal in
recognition of the international scientific community.
In addition, with all the authors,
who trusted the results of their research and publications to the scrutiny of
editors and reviewers who are part of our Journal.

Pulse, through Chief Editor account of Professor Dr. Paulo Cesar Chagas
Rodrigues.
