Vol. 7 No. 2 (2017): RPEA
Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (RPEA), vol. 7, issue 2 is a landmark in this scientific journal. From then on, an RPEA is indexed in more than two databases of international scientific journals: the Scientific Journal Impact Factor (SJIF); and the MIAR (Matrix of Information for Analysis of Periodicals), of the University of Barcelona. In total, an RPEA is currently indexed and referenced in six major directories of scientific journals, which demonstrates the success of the journey undertaken by international credibility.
This year, a RPEA also consolidated a biannual periodicity of the journal, an essential factor for integration in the main international scientific databases. From a periodic to half-yearly evaluation, the possibilities of accessing a larger number of directories and databases increased. However, this figure is applicable to some of the rules - with the levels of research quality and editorial ability of the RPEA - which have been happily exceeded.
Finally, one semester, an RPEA was invited to integrate an international project with five scientific journals from countries (USA, Finland, Taiwan, Spain and Czech Republic), which is an opportunity for a dissemination of research on art education in Portugal , while at the same time proving the journal's credibility. In this project, the six series return to network and dedicate to their 2018 issues a common theme: "Without Borders: Global Narratives in Artistic Education" (Without Borders: Global Narratives in Arts Education). This partnership emerged through the InSEA (International Society of Education for the Arts). In 2019, a conference will be held on the city of Vancouver, where it is its main and great source of resources.
More information can be found on the RPEA website (http://rpea.recursosartisticos.madeira.gov.pt). The answers are pleasing to all who have contributed to this project and those who have collaborated in the promotion and are not quality additions in the area of artistic education. To all our thanks.
