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

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

We thank everyone who made this achievement possible.

We are also pleased to announce that this year we will hold the 6th International Congress of Scientific Journals, which will take place at the Federal University of Ceará, in Fortaleza, on October 2. It will be a great opportunity for exchange, collaboration, and strengthening of our scientific community. We look forward to seeing you there!

Welcome to Volume 7, Issue 4, of 2026 — a year that promises even more innovations, progress, and achievements for RECIMA21.
