It aims to provide an analytical overview of the activities involved from the changes induced by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that have modified Scientific Communication in recent decades, as Brazilian teaching and research institutions are inserting themselves in the context of open data and new challenges from the technological domain, with emphasis on the policies promoted by the integration of the Partnership for the Open Government (OGP), in the broad agenda of Open Science and innovation with the purpose of building a public science, transparent and widely accessible. It identifies teaching and research institutions that already have Open Research Data repositories in Brazil. For this, a quantitative and qualitative documentary, bibliographic and exploratory research was carried out on the theme, initially based on two recent reports of working groups that develop research for the implementation of national public policies. From these reports, a new search was carried out in the Re3data directory and in other sources using the data.gov.br portal to identify which Brazilian institutions already have research data repositories. In the study pointed out in the two reports in 2019 there were seven records on the Re3Data platform and eight found on the Web. In the research update, Re3Dta is constantly updated, ten records were found on the Re3Data platform and thirteen on the web, which lead us to perceive the growing presence of Open Data repositories in Brazilian research institutions that, although they indicate growth, this type of repository in Brazil is still very incipient.
