Breve Histórico🔗 A Revista CEFAC – Rev. CEFAC (ISSN 1982-0216) é uma publicação científica online, da Associação Brasileira de Motricidade Orofacial – ABRAMO, em acesso aberto e avaliada por pares. Os artigos aceitos são publicados sob a licença Creative Commons Atributtion, nos idiomas Inglês e Português ou Espanhol, seguindo um modelo de publicação em fluxo contínuo, com artigos organizados em 6 edições anuais. A Revista CEFAC cobra taxa de publicação. Não é cobrada taxa de submissão. A Revista CEFAC foi criada em 1999 pelos Professores Doutores: Irene Queiroz Marchesan e Jaime Luiz Zorzi, diretores do CEFAC - SAÚDE E EDUCAÇÃO. A concretização desta antiga ideia ocorreu em comemoração aos 15 anos de existência do CEFAC e só foi possível graças à garra e à parceria daqueles que sempre acreditaram na Fonoaudiologia, na produção e divulgação de novos conhecimentos. Em 2016, a ABRAMO (Associação Brasileira de Motricidade Orofacial) tornou-se responsável pela Revista CEFAC. A abreviatura de seu título é Rev. CEFAC, que deve ser usada em bibliografias, notas de rodapé e em referências e legendas bibliográficas. Para facilitar o entendimento do seu escopo pelos leitores e pesquisadores de todo o mundo e, assim, ampliar a visibilidade global da revista, em 2023, passamos a adotar o acrônimo Current Evidence on Feeding, Audiology, and Communication.
