Whenever the title of the journal changes, the bibliometric indicators of the journal will also be reset, as it is considered a new title. In the databases, articles published under the old title will be separated from those published under the new title, losing their publication history.

To prevent this separation in the LILACS collection, it is essential to update the title change information in the ISSN and immediately inform the LILACS management team so that this history can be updated, the collection normalized, and the articles reorganized within the collection.

Whenever the (URL ) of your journal’s website changes, whether due to a change in institutional server, technological issues, or a change in the journal’s management company, the link to the full texts of the articles may break within the LILACS database, and access to the articles will be interrupted.

To resolve the issue, log into the FI-Admin system and correct the link to the full texts by replacing the old link with the new one.

The SeCS (Serials in Health Sciences) methodology defines that the printed version of the journal will be the main source of information for the purposes of verification and data confirmation. The online version is only adopted if the printed version is discontinued in the ISSN.

Furthermore, it is standard to use the abbreviation of journal titles according to the ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), and this abbreviation includes the differentiation between print and online versions. Therefore, the abbreviations of journals indexed in databases that adopt the LILACS methodology include this differentiation.
