This profile is generally assigned to network coordinators or library supervisors who already have knowledge of the LILACS Methodology and work in cooperating institutions (Cooperating Centers – CC).

These professionals are responsible for various activities related to the input and maintenance of bibliographic databases, including quality control of the information and cooperative cataloging.

Permissions assigned to this profile:

• Create new bibliographic records;

• Review the bibliographic description and perform subject indexing of records with LILACS-Express status;

• Edit records with Published status;

• Mark records for inclusion in other databases (cooperative cataloging).

After the record is published, the user with the “Editor” profile will be able to view the data, as illustrated in the figure below.

Recommendations for users with the Editor profile

Proper use:

• Correcting errors in description or indexing is allowed and recommended;

• Adding missing data is allowed and recommended;

• If the addition of data is for the purpose of creating search strategies, categories, or specific clusters, the entire workflow must be agreed upon and documented with BIREME, the Coordinator, and the CC network;

• Reusing bibliographic records is allowed and recommended to avoid duplication.

Limits of their role:

• Do not delete or change the status of records that belong to another bibliographic database;

• Do not delete descriptive data or indexing from the record in FI-Admin;

• Do not remove the selection of records marked for other databases (field “Indexed in”) – a prior agreement with the coordination or the person responsible for the database is recommended, so that the criteria are known and respected.
