O movimento de Acesso Aberto e a Ciência Aberta: uma proposta de repositório de dados e memória na Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Abstract

The present tendency of Open Access and Open Science in the promotion of scientific information can make it possible to create scientific data and memory repository at Federal University of Alagoas, considering scientific data as the focus on our argumentation. The main goal of this work is providing a discussion about information access and knowledge produced at Federal University of Alagoas, besides spreading the concepts related to data repositories, as to Open Access Movement and Open Science. This movement is headlined in a way of

thinking information in a globalized, capitalist and neoliberal world. The driving power of this way of infor- mation treatment is the Digital Information and Communications Technology. With the large-scale use of com- puterized resources and with the popularization of Internet, society can intensify the registering of most pro-duced documents by institutions of education and research. Computerized programs and systems were devel- oped specially to make the access of information free of barriers. Matters of tradition and memory will be bene- fited from this new tendency and a whole complex system of information, work, professions and institutions will

rise their capacity of use and reuse of registered and preserved information. In this way, Brazilian universities will be able to benefit from this tendency and create their scientific data repository and then preserve scientific and institutional memory for the sake of science and society in general.
