About the Journal

Brief history
|
The journal Revista Gaúcha de Enfermagem (RGE) was created in 1976 by Escola de Enfermagem e de Saúde Coletiva da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (School of Nursing and Public Health of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul- UFRGS), with the initial objective of providing a vehicle to publicize the work of nurses in the south of Brazil. It is the fourth oldest nursing journal in Brazil and the first in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. RGE was linked to the Department of Assistance and Professional Guidance of School of Nursing, being taken over, in 1982, by the School Administration. Its publication in electronic format began in May 2008, using the SEER platform (OJS), adopted by UFRGS (www.seer.ufrgs.br/rgenf), where its complete collection is available, since v.1, 1976. In 2010, RGE became part of the SciELO electronic library (www.scielo.br/rgenf) and in 2018 (v.39) it began to be published in rolling pass mode, exclusively in electronic format (E- ISSN 1983-1447). |
