Produção científica em acesso aberto nos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação do Brasil

Abstract

The ways of creating, organizing, disseminating, using and preserving information and knowledge, especially in the context of research and science, have been strongly impacted by technologies and especially by the movement of open access to scientific production, thus leading to transformations in the system of scientific communication. This study seeks to investigate the scientific production of research-teachers from the Postgraduate Program in Information Science in Brazil published in open access. It is justified due to the importance of discussions for Information Science about the relationships between production, communication and dissemination of scientific knowledge by Brazilian researchers-teachers in the context of scientific communication and its production in open access as new spaces for the democratization of science . The general objective of the research consists of: Knowing the open access scientific production of the researcher-teachers of the Postgraduate Program in Information Science in Brazil. The specific objectives to be achieved are: (i.) raise the scientific production of researchers-teachers at PPGCIs in Brazil; (ii.) demonstrate the situation of scientific production in open access by researchers-teachers at PPGCIs in Brazil. (iii.) identify the perception of researchers-teachers at PPGCIs in Brazil about open access. This is descriptive research, with a qualitative-quantitative approach. It intends, through documentary survey, to map and identify the open access scientific production of PPGCIs do Brasil researcher-teachers, identifying the type of publication adopted. It also seeks to identify the perception of research-teachers about open access through the application of a questionnaire. The research consisted of surveying the scientific production recorded in the Lattes Curriculum of 221 researcher-teachers from nine PPGCIs, resulting in the survey of 25,502 types of documents, of which an analysis of the articles was carried out, totaling 8924, distributed in 1066 journals. The research result demonstrated that the relationships between the actors in the scientific communication ecosystem influence scientific production and that there is a predominance of open access publication by PPGCIs professor-researchers. It is concluded that this trend places PPGCIs' research-teachers in the context of global open access, as well as the area of Information Science, which generates individual and collective benefits for everyone who seeks to make scientific knowledge widely available and accessible in a free.
