Integration of Open Access Repositories in BrCris: Aiming to Understand the Brazilian Scientific Research Ecosystem

In recent years, several initiatives aimed at creating systems that manage the academic production of an institution, country or area of knowledge have received attention from different areas. Such systems are known by the acronym CRIS (Current Research Information Systems) and are intended to aggregate information from various databases in order to provide reports, consolidated data for researchers to analyze, as well as being the object of certification of scientific information and technological. Therefore, this work presents the data integration process of the BrCris Platform with the objective of providing reliable data, so that it is possible to carry out the information certification process about the Brazilian scientific community. This strategy presents itself as an important data aggregation mechanism, providing reliable and important information about scientific data, especially about Brazilian scientific and technological production. Therefore, the use of aggregated data from the BrCris Platform for the process of understanding the ecosystem of Brazilian scientific research will provide several bibliometric studies that would a priori be extremely complex in their preparation.
