Repositórios digitais confiáveis: uma revisão da literatura nacional e internacional publicada em periódicos científicos

Abstract

Trusted digital repositories are digital libraries that provide access to information and, at the same time, guarantee authenticity, confidentiality, and long-term preservation of sheltered documents. Currently, there are criteria defined by international standards regarding the certification of these repositories. In some countries in North America and Europe institutions are dedicated to assisting in the acquisition of the certification seal, building standards and requirements for the analysis of repositories. Thus, the present article discusses the concept of trusted digital repositories and their exploration by the national and international literature. A qualitative research was carried out, using as a method the systematic review in five databases of the Information Science area, with the objective of identifying the application of the studies in the national and international scenario and to map the authors, periodicals and countries that have explored the concept and how the theme has been worked on. The results point out that the theme is recent, with productions made from 2001. There is a predominance of citations in documents that deal with conceptual aspects and the implementation of digital preservation. It can be affirmed that it is still a little explored subject, because, although it is pointed out by a large number of authors, there is no predominance of specialists in the publication of documents on the subject. According to the authors’ affiliation, the countries that most published were the United States of America, Canada, Brazil, Portugal and England, but there was representation of countries from all continents of the globe.
