Revista <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>Março <strong>de</strong> <strong>20</strong>12 / March <strong>20</strong>12ForewordWe know, however, that this is not enough. In practice, the BJO has become due to budget, distribution, andin<strong>de</strong>xing needs an essentially electronic open access journal. How to reconcile these facts with the urge of maintainingfaithful memberships is something that remains to be answered. However, uncertainty can be synonymous of opportunity.It is already clear that the BJO can no longer be the single regular publication of the BOS. It is also obvious that thecommunity of Brazilian ornithologists has enough public to a journal such as the BJO, but also to another or even othertypes of publications accepting even “… mere lists of the avifauna of a specific locality” as well as equally relevant more localand regional contributions reflecting the enormous increase in activity of ornithologists throughout Brazil. This subjectwill be discussed in due time with all BOS members.BOS and BJO have nourished themselves along the years on the voluntary work of their associates, and this provi<strong>de</strong>sa basis for a future when the role of both the society and journal will be well established. In the meantime, the BJO setsfor once its strategy to become one of the most relevant ornithological journals worldwi<strong>de</strong>. Accordingly, I invite all BOSmembers and no-members alike, to make their contributions and consi<strong>de</strong>r the BJO as a publication venue for their beststudies on Neotropical ornithology.Alexandre AleixoMinistério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação / Museu Paraense Emílio GoeldiEditor
