Proposal for the creation of an open data network in brazilian research

Abstract

It addresses research data resulting from research carried out in Brazilian teaching and research institutions and the need to make it public, through open access in repositories, in order to validate the results obtained and published, as well as to foster new research and socialize the knowledge. It aims to explore the national and international scenario and present the planning of an investigation that seeks a technological solution to effect open access to research data (AADP) from a national perspective. It proposes a methodology divided into five stages: identification of AADP practices in Brazilian institutions; mapping of AADP users and their needs; proposal of a web portal to bring together the national community in AADP; survey of services and technological solutions for the sharing of research data on the international scene; proposing recommendations to support the creation of repositories of research data in national institutions and their aggregation into a research network in AADP. As a result, it brings international initiatives and strategies to undertake the creation of research data repositories, as well as to create communities of practice around the subject. It recommends that the proposal be made up of three strands, in order to support the creation of research data repositories in national institutions and their aggregation into a research network in AADP.
