The journal selection process is decentralized and carried out by National Journal Evaluation and Selection Committees, which are composed of Coordinators in each country or LILACS thematic area.
The criteria for evaluating and selecting journals for indexing in the LILACS database are applied across all countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. When a national or thematic coordination adapts these criteria to the scientific context of its country and has them validated by BIREME/PAHO/WHO, this adapted criterion is the one adopted in the evaluation process.
