O papel dos repositórios digitais na construção de políticas de Ciência Aberta: o processo de implantação do Repositório Institucional de Múltiplos Acervos da UFRRJ

Abstract

Digital Humanities have been an object of discussion since the appearance of the term. Aspects related to conceptualization, presence in the Academy, multilingual community, transdisciplinary characteristics, impact of the digital on research activities, among others, permeate the debates on this theme. The Digital Humanities' manifesto meets some precepts of the open access movement by presenting a clear defense in favor of the dissemination, circulation and free access of data, metadata, research results. Considering the fundamental role of digital repositories in achieving these goals, we analyze their implementation and use in the context of the Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). This process culminated in the implementation of the Repositório Institucional de Múltiplos Acervos (RIMA), based on the integration of two previously existing repositories. It is a representative experience in the development of Open Science policies in public universities, responsible for a considerable part of the country's scientific and cultural production. Starting from the theoretical field delimited by the specialized literature, we proceeded to the empirical research of a qualitative nature combined with the descriptive aspect, from the analysis of the perception of social actors from the UFRRJ involved in the studied process through the application of questionnaires.
