The evaluation and selection of journals for indexing in LILACS are decentralized because each country or thematic area has unique characteristics that reflect its local scientific landscape. Health priorities, research agendas, community size, and different study designs require a personalized approach tailored to this reality. The formation of local committees aims to ensure a thorough, appropriate, and fair evaluation, highlighting specialized journals that meet LILACS quality standards and demonstrate integrity and transparency in research and publication of results.

This process highlights (selects) specialized journals that meet LILACS quality standards and demonstrate integrity and transparency in the research and publication of developed research results.
