Along with other developments that have occurred since the publication of the last issue, two should be highlighted: Conservar Património entering the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and, secondly, conforming with all the 36 parameters of the digital journals evaluation by Latindex-the information system on journals of scientific research, technical, professional and scientific and cultural dissemination that are published in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal. Hence, even though the journal Conservar Património is published by an organization of national scope and encourages the publication in Portuguese, some of its features are, increasingly, those of an international journal-not only due to these recent developments, but also thanks to the process that submitted articles are subjected to, to the international Editorial Board (whose members are once again gratefully acknowledged), and to the indexing in bibliographic databases of international reference. The publication of papers by authors from other countries, namely from Brazil and Spain, that has occurred frequently in recent issues, is both cause and consequence of this welcomed internationalization of a Portuguese publication .
