It is with mixed feelings of gratefulness and renewed energy that we announce the new editorial board of the Archives of Clinical Psychiatry. At the same time that we say goodbye to some of the editors who have given life to our journal over the past years, we cheerfully welcome our newly arrived associate editors, who accepted the challenge of continuing and expanding the fine work done until now. The entrance of our new Editor-in-Chief, Dr. José A. S. Crippa, from the Medical School of the University of São Paulo in Ribeirão Preto, was the first step to bring together the two centers of research in psychiatry and neuroscience of the University of São Paulo with the purpose of strengthening and expanding the relevance and visibility of the Archives of Clinical Psychiatry. Now, each of the five areas covered by our journal will be headed by two associate editors, one from São Paulo and one from Ribeirão Preto.
