Abstract

All articles published in the Revista Brasileira de Fisioterapia/Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy (RBF/BJPT) are indexed or have their abstracts available in the following databases: Medline, Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports (JCR) with an impact factor of 0.444, Scopus, SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), SportDiscus, CSA-Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Lilacs (Latin-American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information), Latindex, CINAHL, Periódica, and Redalyc. The recent indexing of the RBF/BJPT into these international databases will increase the visibility of the articles published in the journal, making the RBF/BJPT a valuable source of information and an important vehicle for publishing research in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences fields. Consequently, the RBF/BJPT has been classified as Qualis A2 across all CAPES health-related area from 2011. The RBF/BJPT mission is to publish original research reports in the field of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences, by covering basic and applied studies on the assessment, prevention and treatment of movement disorders. The RBF/BJPT is a bimonthly journal that provides an English electronic version concurrently with the printed version in the Scientific Electronic Library Online - SciELO, becoming the only Brazilian journal in the Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy fields that also provides an English electronic version. As an official journal of the Association of Research and Post-Graduate Programs in Physical Therapy (ABRAPG-FT) the RBF/BJPT is a collective initiative of the major Brazilian research groups in Physical Therapy that are members of the Association. These research groups maintain 14 Post-Graduate Research Programs in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences fields that are recognized by the Brazilian government for the training of Brazilian researchers in these fields.
