Compartilhamento de dados de pesquisa : percepção e práticas dos docentes dos programas de pós-graduação do ITEC e ICSA

Abstract

Open Science can be considered as a paradigm shift within the Open Access movement, containing in one of its pillars the open access to scientific research data in order to contribute and collaborate with the use, reuse and reproducibility of these data. Through sharing, research can be validated and bring more transparency to the studies developed. Among the issues debated about the sharing of research data is the authors' perception of this practice, which can both inhibit and influence it. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions and practices of permanent professors of graduate programs at the Institute of Technology (ITEC) and the Institute of Applied Social Sciences (ICSA) at UFPA regarding the sharing of research data. The methodology, of an exploratory nature, through the case study, composes the investigation regarding the sharing of research data, with the UFPA as the locus of the research, through a questionnaire and interview. The survey was conducted through 51 questionnaire respondents and 10 interview participants. The results showed that the professors have knowledge about research data sharing, but not in relation to the fundamentals of Open Science. Regarding data sharing practices, the research points to the occurrence informally, without the use of data management tools. The importance of this study at UFPA is highlighted, given the incipience on the theme and the need for guidelines and support at the institutional level, given the relevance of the theme in identifying and researching factors and characteristics that can increase the balance between the participants in the process and use of research data sharing.
