ANÁLISE DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA BRASILEIRA E PORTUGUESA SOBRE O TEMA REPOSITÓRIO: UM ESTUDO A PARTIR DO RCAAP

Abstract

The present article has the general objective of identifying, systematizing, presenting and comparing the different types of repositories covered in Brazilian and Portuguese literature. Descriptive research with qualitative and quantitative approaches. First, a bibliographic survey was carried out on the theses and dissertations indexed in RCAAP (Scientific Open Access Scientific Repositories of Portugal), with the following search terms: digital repository, institutional repository and scientific repository. Coverage period: 1806 until 2020. We analyzed four quantitative variables: thesis and dissertation institutions, year of defense, types of repositories and keywords. As for qualitative research, we present and systematize the different types of repository concepts present in this scientific production. We recovered a total of 56 theses and dissertations, 45 of which are from Brazilian universities and institutes and only 11 are from Portugal. Comparing the two scientific productions, from Brazil and Portugal, we saw that the repository theme is recent, the first Brazilian work defended in 2006 and Portugal in 2008. In Brazil the university that has more research on repositories is the University of Brasília, accounting for 12 works, and in Portugal it is the University of Porto adding a total of three works. We found that the literature both in Brazil and in Portugal grows in a timid and gradual way. We found that universities and research institutions need more studies on the repository theme.
