INTRODUCTION
The Brazilian Journal of Motor Behavior (BJMB) is a quadriannual, peer-reviewed,
free of charge/fee and open-access journal published by the Brazilian Society of Motor
Behavior (SOCIBRACOM). The BJMB has published original contributions within the
multidisciplinary study of human motor behavior, in the broad scope of motor control,
development and learning, movement disorders, sports, clinical, theoretical and model
studies. Since 2019 the BJMB publishes manuscripts only in English. In the same year,
BJMB started to invite researchers to be guest editors in article collections, providing an
excellent opportunity to promote high-quality contents within the field.
The BJMB is the main motor behavior journal in the Latin American. It is widely
recognized for its significant academic contribution and indexed in the UlrichsWeb Global
Serial Directory, Diadorium, Gale Directory Library, Google Scholar, Road Directory of
Open Access Scholary resources and Red Iberoamericana de Innovación y Conocimiento
Científico. The number of edition and papers has sustainable and significantly increased in
the last years, with over 500 authors contributing with 121 manuscripts, distributed in 40
numbers. The time of peer-reviewed process is short (first revision- 26 days) and paper
publication is quick (57 days).
The BJMB was launched with its first edition published in December of 2006 and,
thus, we are celebrating its 15th anniversary. For that, the BJMB launches a new type of
manuscript: INFOGRAPHIC. This initiative aims to provide a quick, easy-to-use and
enjoyable publication that conveys notable knowledge. Two types of infographics will be
publishable: a) theory perspective: visual material to theory acknowledge to facilitate the
understanding of models, theory frameworks, concepts, principles, and approaches in the
field; b) article infographic: visual material about interventional effects on motor learning,
development and control sustained by reviews and/or meta-analysis.
