Update in “Book Edition” records highlights the user’s contribution to this type of Publication.
From the day September 11, 2025, the platform CIÊNCIAVITAE will have a new update in the typology of Publications “Book edition“, with the aim of more accurately reflecting the role played by the user in book editing.
The main change will be the renaming of the field currently designated as “Authors”, which will be called “Editors”.
✅ It is important to note that the data already entered in this field will not be lost and the citation presented in the public CV (accessible via the “Find CVs” tool or exported) will remain unchanged.
Additionally, the field currently called “Editors” will be renamed to “Contributors”.
We would like to inform our users that any information currently registered in this field will not be automatically maintained. It will need to be manually re-entered following the date of change.

We suggest that after the day 11/09, review the “Book Edition” type records to ensure data accuracy.
