Design Science Research na prática: ideação de um Repositório Institucional baseado em periódico científico

Abstract

Introduction: Institutional repositories were consolidated as important tools for the Open Access movement due to the possibility of making scientific production available, however, there are still challenges related to the implementation and maintenance of repositories, especially with regard to underutilization and copyright issues /intellectual property. Thus, considering this context and with the objective of teaching practical use of the Design Science Research method applied to Information Science, during the Design Science Research discipline of the Graduate Program in Knowledge Management and Organization, from the School of Information Science and the Graduate Program in Built Environment and Sustainable Heritage, from the School of Architecture, both from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, the students were challenged to develop an institutional repository as an artifact. Objective: Present the experience of applying the Design Science Research method to design a digital repository. Methodology: Design Science Research. Results: It presents the journey through the stages of identification and awareness of the problem, systematic review of the literature and ideation of an institutional repository based on a scientific journal. The Design ScienceResearch method proved to be a driver of all research and, through the association of rigor and relevance, promoted the approximation between theory and practice.Conclusion:It contributes not only to the presentation of the method in a theoretical and practical way, but also exemplifies its use in the field of Information Science.
