The selection process for journals in the LILACS Brazil collection is based on the LILACS Brazil selection and continuation criteria. Journals submitted for evaluation undergo analyses of format and standardization, endogeneity (geographical and institutional distribution of the editorial committee and authors), as well as content analysis by specialists in the field. The journal must have at least 50% original articles to be considered for selection and its publication schedule must be up to date.

This process is coordinated by BIREME/PAHO/WHO as one of the activities provided for in the Cooperation Agreement with the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which coordinates the Brazilian Health Sciences Information Network.
