Abstract

It is with immense appreciation and gratitude that we address the readers of the Saúde e Pesquisa Journal at this unique moment. Since its inception in 2008, our journal has been a vital source of knowledge and inspiration for the academic and professional community in the interdisciplinary field focusing on disease prevention and health promotion and recovery. Today, we celebrate not only the accumulated achievements over these years but also pay tribute to an exceptional figure who has shaped every page with dedication and vision: Prof. Dr. Sonia Maria Marques Gomes Bertolini.

Over the past sixteen years, Dr. Sonia Bertolini has tirelessly served as the Editor-in-Chief of this journal, leading it with passion, diligence, and an unwavering commitment to editorial excellence. Her visionary leadership has not only set the high standards for which the journal is known but has also fostered a culture of innovation, academic rigor, and diversity of perspectives.

Under her guidance, the Saúde e Pesquisa Journal has become a dynamic forum for the exchange of ideas, discoveries, and innovative practices in health, encompassing a wide range of disciplines and topics. Her commitment to academic quality and editorial integrity has helped solidify the journal's reputation as a leading publication in its field.

In addition to her exemplary editorial leadership, Dr. Sonia Bertolini also embodies the core values that the journal seeks to promote: integrity, collaboration, and dedication to advancing knowledge in health. Her tireless dedication to supporting authors, reviewers, and editorial team members demonstrates a deep commitment to the community she serves.

As we bid farewell to Dr. Sonia Bertolini in her role as Editor-in-Chief, we express our deepest gratitude for her dedication and invaluable contributions over the years. Her legacy will endure not only in the pages of this journal but also in the hearts and minds of those who have had the privilege of working alongside her.

As the Saúde e Pesquisa Journal embarks on a new chapter in its history, we are confident that the solid foundations established by Dr. Sonia Bertolini will continue to inspire and guide our path forward. As we welcome new editorial leadership, we remain committed to the highest standards of excellence, ethics, and relevance for our community of readers and contributors.

Finally, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Dr. Sonia Bertolini for her exemplary dedication and wish her every success in her future endeavors. May her journey continue to be marked by remarkable achievements and lasting impact, just as her time at the helm of the Saúde e Pesquisa Journal.

 

With esteem and recognition,

The editorial team of the Saúde e Pesquisa Journal
