Sleep Science proudly comes to its fourth year of existence.During this time, Sleep Science has effectively represented the Associao Brasileira de Sono (Brazilian Association of Sleep) and the Federacin Latinoamericana de Sociedades de Sueo (Latin American Federation of Sleep Societies) among the international scientifi c community.For the past three years, this journal has served as an important vehicle in which authors of different nationalities, as Brazil and Latin America, have published their papers.Throughout these past years, Sleep Science has met its goals and is now consolidated as an important publication related to the Sleep and Chronobiology.Among the targets we have met, is the elaboration of an effi cient graphic and editorial project, as well as the assemblage of a body of reputable editors and reviewers, who enjoy international recognition and that are able to handle a constant stream of papers submitted yearly, in a timely fashion.At present, our immediate objectives are the implementation of an online submission system and the indexation in international databases.This will expose Sleep Science to realms much beyond Latin America.Our achievements over the years, and those of the future, rely on the joint efforts of editors, revisers and, mainly, authors.Thus, in order to recognize the efforts of the authors, as well as to stimulate the submission of scientifi c literature, we proudly announce the creation of the Sleep Science Award for best study published in our journal.The award will be offered in the form of a monetary check for best paper, and certifi cates for second and third places.This fi rst edition of Sleep Science Award will be announced during the XIII Brazilian Sleep Congress to be held from November 12 through 15, and will be offered to the best papers published in issues 3 and 4.
