Yes, there are differences. However, one rule applies to both: all editors of journals indexed in LILACS must adhere to the LILACS-Express initiative and commit to the prompt updating and maintenance of data in the BIREME/PAHO/WHO management system.

Editors of printed journals commit to manually entering and maintaining basic data and uploading the full texts of each article into the FI-Admin system.

Editors of electronic journals commit to manually entering and maintaining basic data, uploading full texts of each article into the FI-Admin system, or offering a basic data collection service (OAI-PMH) with data completeness and consistency that enables automated loading. They also commit to ensuring link persistence—24/7 access to content, digital preservation of articles by adopting appropriate standards and systems, and manual data maintenance and updating in the FI-Admin system in case of any unavailability or data inconsistency in previously provided information.
