Abstract

In an era of rapid technological advancements and complex global challenges, the role of scientific research has never been more critical. Scientific articles are fundamental in disseminating knowledge, guiding policy decisions, and addressing societal issues. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of timely and accessible scientific publications in managing public health crises, underscoring the need for rigorous peer review and interdisciplinary research. Evaluating the societal impact of research requires a multifaceted approach that goes beyond traditional academic metrics, embracing open access and alternative metrics. Effective science communication and teaching young scientists about societal impact are essential for fostering a responsible scientific community. The Brazilian Journal of Case Reports is dedicated to promoting the importance of scientific research and invites authors to contribute.
