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.
