Dear reader:

After a considerable editorial effort, the journal Revista Ingenierías Universidad de Medellín assumes the challenge of a new postulation to the prestigious Scopus database. This is a goal pursued for a long time and for which many improvements have been made and that is the result of complex construction processes. We took elements from the Currículo del editor (Editor's CUrriculum) from the Colombian Ministry of Sciences, we had counseling from Scimago and thus we pursued the internal strengthening of the journal.

Changes such as the publication in English, that will soon be a reality, the strengthening of the editorial team, the renovations of the OJS website and a greater carefulness in the vetting and assessing processes of the content, are aligned with our pursuit of greater quality for increasing our indexations and impact.

Furthermore, we hope we can offer our readers the most pertinent and useful information for a complete appropriation by them of our journal. We will briefly display our articles with greater impact and our indicators for transparency with the purpose of allowing our reader to judge how this journal is consolidated through time.

We expect that these changes become a differentiating feature of our journal and that they result in a greater attraction for evermore demanding readers.

As always, we hope that the contents offered by us contribute to our greatest purpose: constructing relevant science.
