Repositórios de dados de pesquisa: critérios CoreTrustSeal

Abstract

Publishing research data usually requires that the datasets have been previously shared in a repository and have a persistent identifier to ensure easy retrieval and access. In many cases, the journals in which the data will be published the request or provide authors with information about the repositories in which they can store and share their data. This research aims to evaluate the policies of Brazilian institutions' repositories, indexed in the Re3data directory, according to the CoreTrustSeal certificate requirements, in order to identify if the information published by these repositories can certify their quality and security. It is concluded that, although none of the repositories consulted has the CoreTrustSeal certification seal, most of them have followed the requirements of this certification, ensuring the security and preservation of the data. It is suggested that increasing the academic-scientific community can have access to this information in order to give credibility to spaces in which their data are stored, pointing out that a more enlightened description of data repositories can enhance the quality assurance of research data published in hybrid journals or journals specialized in the publication of data papers.
