Interface – Comunicação, Saúde, Educação é uma publicação da Universidade Estadual Paulista – Unesp (Departamento de Saúde Pública, Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu), de caráter interdisciplinar, não comercial de acesso aberto. Tem como missão contribuir para o avanço do conhecimento mediante a publicação de artigos originais e outros materiais relevantes para as áreas de Saúde Coletiva e Formação dos Profissionais de Saúde, conforme detalhamento em Foco e Escopo abaixo. Aceita manuscritos em português, espanhol e inglês, com a submissão online. Breve Histórico Interface foi lançada em 1997, concebida por um grupo interdisciplinar de estudos da Educação e da Comunicação no campo da Saúde, no interior do Projeto UNI, financiado pela Fundação Kellogg, que selecionou Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu (Unesp) como uma das instituições para desenvolvimento deste programa na América Latina, em parceria com a Prefeitura Municipal de Botucatu e organizações comunitárias locais. Assim, Interface foi fruto daquele momento de intensa criação e experimentação em torno de projetos de integração entre a universidade, a comunidade e os serviços de saúde, na formação na graduação médica, mas também na pós-graduação em Saúde, envolvendo outras profissões da saúde. Desde o início introduziu algumas inovações editoriais, como a seção Criação, ao abrir espaço para outras linguagens mediante a publicação de “textos de reflexão com maior liberdade formal, com ênfase em linguagem iconográfica, poética, literária etc”. Em 2005 a revista passou a integrar a biblioteca SciELO, o que resultou num aumento de 500% nas submissões em três anos. Desde então, uma nova dinâmica editorial se estruturou com: um sistema online de submissão e avaliação editorial (2008), uma etapa de pré-avaliação e a pré-publicação dos artigos aprovados (2011). Em 2013, encerra-se a versão impressa da revista e inicia-se o uso das redes sociais para ampliar a difusão de suas publicações. Em linha com a Ciência Aberta, Interface adotou: a licença CC-BY (2018), a publicação contínua (2019), a submissão de preprints (2020), a retenção pelos autores dos direitos de publicação - copyright e a publicação dos nomes dos editores e editores associados dos artigos aprovados (2021) e a disponibilização dos dados utilizados e produzidos na pesquisa (2025). Acesso Aberto A revista apoia e se integra ao movimento Ciência Aberta conforme recomendações da Unesco, que a define como “um conjunto de princípios e práticas que vi
