LILACS is a cooperative database of the BIREME System that comprises literature related to Health Sciences published in Latin American and Caribbean countries. SciELO is an electronic library that includes a selected collection of Brazilian scientific journals.

LILACS and the Latin American and Caribbean System of Information on Health Sciences (LILACS Network) are the methodology and system of origin for SciELO. Therefore, there is compatibility in the criteria for journal selection, data format, and technologies between both initiatives. Consequently, health and psychology journals and documentation from Latin American and Caribbean countries included in SciELO are accepted in the LILACS collection and are automatically harvested by BIREME when data is available via OAI-PMH or FTP (LILACS-Express Initiative).
