Dear authors, professors, researchers, reviewers, and the entire scientific community,

It is with great satisfaction and honor that we announce that RECIMA21 has achieved a new classification in Qualis CAPES, reaching the A4 stratum and joining the select group of excellence journals in Brazil. We have already surpassed the mark of 4,000 published articles, all with DOI, consolidating our position as one of the most accessed journals according to Google Scholar. We are indexed in more than 65 national and international databases and directories, operate under an open access model, and continue to grow steadily.

We also inform you that we now publish in HTML and XML formats (for both formats, a request via email is required), and that all PDF articles are now issued with a digital certificate. These are additional services offered while maintaining the same pricing for nearly three years.

We thank everyone who contributed to this important achievement.

We also announce that this year we will hold the 6th International Congress of Scientific Journals, which will take place at the Universidade Federal do Ceará, in Fortaleza, on October 2. It will be an excellent opportunity for exchanging experiences, strengthening partnerships, and fostering integration within the scientific community. We look forward to your participation.

Welcome to Volume 7, Issue 5, of 2026 — a year that promises even more advancements, innovations, and achievements for RECIMA21.
