Editorial
What is your opinion?
We have commented several times in this editorial on the need for 
us to view the Internet as a means of disclosure and distribution of 
VFLHQWL¿FMRXUQDOVHVSHFLDOO\WKH%UD]LOLDQ-RXUQDORI2UWKRSDHGLFV
or RBO.
Several publications are already presented exclusively online, 
and we are reluctant to let our RBO be handled, transported and

that the electronic form is much cheaper, allows greatly superior 
image quality and enables more direct and objective search and re-
trieval of articles.
We discussed the various options with the publishers at the 43rd 
CBOT conference and decided to hear the readers' opinion.
The number of articles, which is progressively increasing, to the 
point where we are seeing a delay of almost a year in the pace of pub-
lications, obliges us to think about three possible options:

that would result in an increase in the journal's cost and in the cost of 
delivery by mail, and would solve the problem temporarily;

ready do, and cite a number of articles that would be available online 
in full. Thus, we could satisfy the demand for publications and would 
use our electronic form, which has existed since 1993, to update the

the same citation value, as they would be listed in the printed form.
Some journals, such as Arthroscopy, already use this publication 
method for papers on surgical techniques, papers that require more 
precise images and case reports.
I would like to know your opinion.
In this manner, we will be able to test the Internet as a form of com-
munication and discover your view of the subject.
Please reply by choosing one of the options and send it to: rbo@sbot.org.br
We will inform the result at a convenient time.
Thank you,
