A curadoria de dados científicos na ciência da informação: levantamento do cenário nacional

Abstract

For contemporary science, sharing and reusing scientific data are key elements for collaboration between scientific communities and the advancement of science. To suit this scenario, information professionals need to develop skills to perform digital curation activities for scientific data. The objective of the research is to raise with the Brazilian researchers in the area of Information Science, their perception about the degree of involvement of the area in the international momentum of digital curation of scientific data. The research, exploratory and descriptive, used research procedures with Survey to obtain opinions from the scientific community in the area of information science on the subject. The information analyzed reveals that for the field of Information Science in Brazil, the development of digital curation of scientific data is at an early stage. Considerable evolutionary change in the theoretical, practical and technical disciplinary training of these researchers is required to strengthen the Brazilian Information Science field to take on digital curation as part of their mission.
