Analysis of the principles for the description of research data by datacite metadata schema.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the theoretical-methodological principles related to the description of the research data. An analysis was carried out on the status of the research data issue, which addresses aspects of its citation, description and systematization. Metadata elements for the description of research data sets that are included in the Metadata Schema DataCite were identified and analyzed, with the purpose of creating a proposed descriptive profile applicable to these sets. It is estimated that, if the research data is properly described, then its accessibility and reuse will be further promoted. To do this, it is necessary for academic and research institutions to participate in the generation of open access policies for their research data.
