The LILACS thematic areas are fields of knowledge considered priorities for the health of the population of Latin America and the Caribbean and have had their collections developed prominently within the LILACS database.

The coordinators of LILACS thematic areas are responsible for the leadership, development, and management of the collection and the collaborative network for the LILACS database and their own thematic databases. They are responsible for forming specific committees for the evaluation and selection of scientific journals and managing the collaborative network.
