Scientific communication in the Social and Human Sciences (CS&H) has historically been consolidated through monographic publications. However, in recent decades, the dynamism in the need for access to information and advances in Open Science have impacted the role of books as the main channel for disseminating knowledge in these areas. The objective of this study is to propose a set of guidelines for the scientific communication of books in the areas of CS&H, based on the analysis of practices of production, distribution and use of books by social scientists and humanists. The research adopts a conceptual model based on the relationship between concepts extracted from the literature, with a qualitative approach, social constructivist perspective and descriptive purpose. The sample is made up of researchers in the areas of sociology and law linked to Brazilian federal universities. Data collection included bibliographical research, application of Grounded Data Theory and use of techniques such as Systematized Literature Review and semi-structured interviews. The data were processed with the help of StArt and Iramuteq software, using coding, characterization and statistical analysis to separate, classify and synthesize the findings. The result is a substantive theory that defines guidelines for a book-centered scientific communication model in CS&H, offering support for a more accessible and democratic science.

This research's object of study is the organization of archival information in the Federal Judiciary in the digital era, focusing on the higher courts and the National Council of Justice, the highest institutions of that Power.. From this perspective, the aim was to identify and measure the level of organization of digital archival record in the institutions of the Federal Judiciary. To this end, a systematic literature review was used as the research method, with the aim of clearly explaining the stages of the research, using standardized and verifiable techniques; at this stage, examples of maturity level models in digital record management were researched in the specialized literature and, based on the analysis of this bibliography, a new maturity measurement model was proposed for the management of digital archival records in the institutions of the Federal Judiciary, complemented by the submission of a structured questionnaire to obtain answers in order to fill in the gaps left by the literature review. In order to fulfill the research objective, some of the basic concepts in the field of archivology are revisited in an analytical manner. The main aspects related to digital archival records, archival information, the functions of contemporary archivology, record management policies and the organization of archival information are examined. Aspects related to the management and preservation of digital archival records in the face of the new paradigm of digital preservation are also analyzed. An explanatory overview was given of the institutions of the Federal Judiciary, their main activities and their constitutional functions. Finally, an analysis of the level of maturity in the management of digital archival records of the institutions of the Federal Judiciary was carried out, based on the creation of a model capable of measuring this level of maturity, together with an analysis of the responses sent in by the institutions in response to the questionnaire applied. After this investigative journey, the results presented corroborate the initial impressions of the research into the organization of archival information in the Federal Judiciary in the digital age and show that the institutions of this branch are at a basic level in terms of the organization of digital archival records and that they need to improve in order to meet the principles listed by the functions of contemporary archivology.

On October 4^th, 2018, the Central Library of the University of Brasília (BCE/UnB) published a note informing the proposed damage of books in its human rights’ collection. This biblioclast situation generated several repercussions and culminated in the creation of the BCE/UnB Human Rights Space. Assuming that the strength of the book, in the physicalist tradition of information science, has been imposed in the area through a type of “authority argument” – and valuing the study of the book only as “support of recorded information” or “record” –, it is argued that alternative conceptions in the area, such as neodocumentation, have been constructing an “argument’s authority” about the existence of other dimensions of the book “beyond information”. Therefore, objectively, the powerless strength of the multidimensionality of the book's materiality is demonstrated through an analysis of the networks that culminated in the creation of the BCE/UnB Human Rights Space. To this end, the literature review method was used on the book’s materiality, and the heuristic resource of the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) was used to analyze the network in question, applying semi-structured interviews with actors who were inserted in this context. The results indicate that the book is a strong hybrid non-human actor in our society, and its strength without force is expressed in the multidimensionality of its materiality. Possible dimensions of the book are proposed, and the possible agencies of the network corroborate this strength without force of the book and how human and non-human actors make the social.

The research comprises the intersections between ethnic-racial information and cyberactivism, taking as a case study the Afro-digital Network of museums in Brazil composed of the Museum of African and Afro-Brazilian Memory, Museu Afro Digital Maranhão, Museu Afro Digital Galeria Mato Grosso, Museu Afro Digital de Pernambuco and Museu Afro Digital Galeria do Rio de Janeiro, with the hypothesis that this infocommunication model leads an anti-racist struggle. It makes a brief analysis of the paths of the Afro-Brazilian Infocommunication Process, with a theoretical and methodological approach on the intersections between Information Science (IC), coloniality and decoloniality, and how ethnic-racial information intersects, a concept that it can combine terms such as information, race and ethnicity, in an attempt to resolve problems related to the underrepresentation or erasure of these African and Afro-Brazilian memories. Thus, it investigates how technological devices and digital space are appropriate for the production, use and dissemination of knowledge about Afro-Brazilian cultural heritage in Brazil, and its relationship with racism, whiteness and Information Science. As a methodological resource, it is constructed from qualitative research, focusing on bibliographic research and documentary analysis. And it understands that the Afro-digital Network of museums, based on the appreciation of African and Afro-Brazilian cultural heritage, develops a process of managing and organizing information and knowledge, based on a digital crossroads that combines scientific research with the voices of communities traditional and peripheral. A product of heritage and museum actions and policies, which were relevant nationally and internationally, it is a space to combat algorithmic racism and demand for social justice. A project that is at the same time an decolonial action and an experience of cyberactivism that contributes to other forms of infocommunicational thinking and museum practices.

The subject of this research is cultural heritage in Brazilian information science journals. Its aim, with the help of databases and tools that capture, measure and retrieve bibliometric results, is to identify representations and relationships of cultural heritage in Brazilian scientific journals that establish links with Information Science The research is descriptive and exploratory in nature, based on keyword and Boolean operator searches in the Reference Database of Journal Articles in Information Science (Brapci). With the metric results duly systematised, an interpretation of them was established and, consequently, a representation of the state of the art of cultural heritage in Information Science, under pre-established methodological guidelines.

This thesis analyses the Brazilian information field through its interface with Folklore, with the aim of understanding the documentary practices forged by folklorists between 1913 and 1965. To this end, it examines folklore research and documentation protocols, with the aim of identifying and analysing documentary practices based on the production of folklore surveys, manuals and collections. The aim is to demonstrate how folklorists, in their quest to have folklore recognised as scientific, created patterns of collections based on networks manifested in scientific societies, institutes and a national campaign. The specific objectives are: I - to map the trends of knowledge classified as Folklore at an international level, with an emphasis on identifying the intellectuals who were part of the field of information between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century; II - to identify the documentary practices that shaped institutions and networks around the concept of Folklore in Brazil, based on the production of surveys, collection manuals and collections organised by intellectuals in the first decades of the 20th century; III - to analyse the information resources used by some folklorists in the processes of institutionalising Folklore, based on the creation of bodies and instruments responsible for documenting information in Brazil; and IV- to examine the conditions of possibility that contributed to the production of a folklore collection manual, its recording methods and its impact on the construction of bibliographies, museums, archives and libraries. The research, which is qualitative, descriptive and analytical, is based on the theoreticalmethodological framework of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, based on his model of praxeological knowledge. Based on a multi-sited ethnography of documents and the indicative paradigm, the research concluded that survey instruments and collection manuals were one of the techniques mobilised with the aim of providing scientific objectivity to a cultural reality classified as Folklore. This analysis revealed the diversity of interpretations attributed to the term, and various perspectives on its definition. resulting in a broad and contextualised understanding, both on an international and national scale. As an instrument created with international references, its elaboration and execution were marked by moral and cultural values that maintained the status quo of domination over a group labelled as popular. In their experiences in the field of information, folklorists were not only spokespeople and defenders of the institutionalisation of folklore, but also mobilised certain documentation practices as an artifice of legitimacy for scientific practice.

The modern environments which organizations develop and evolve are complex and constantly changing. To face these changes, organizations must learn and evolve based on knowledge, materializing this learning through organizational actions to interact with the environment and, from it, capture signs of relevance, whose assimilation and awareness renew the process of learning and action. To enhance the impact of these actions, one can draw upon the theory of the organizational knowledge cycle, which is based on three interrelated processes: sense-making, knowledge creating, and decision-making. Observing these actions in the field of national defense in cyberspace, one can see the need for learning for organizations working in this field. However, actions in cyber space cause myriads of intermediate effects that the organization must have the means to monitor, which demands a series of technological sensors, but which, ultimately, demand perceptions, understanding and projections for decision by human individuals, i.e. situational awareness in cyber defense. In this context, the present research aimed to develop a strategic framework for informational needs that, based on the organizational knowledge cycle and models of situational awareness, could provide support to commanders, managers, or coordinators of cyber defense operations in designing these processes in order to enhance the cyber defense situational awareness. To this end, the research followed an applied research character, making use of deductive methods, bibliographic and documentary research techniques and natural participant observation. To assess the relevance of the framework developed during the study, a set of records belonging to the Ministry of Defense, more specifically the Brazilian Army, was used, containing 477 Lessons Learned (LL) and approximately 500 Post-Action Analysis (APA) (PAA) items, referring to cyber operations that took place between 2012 and 2016. The research concluded that: (i) based on cyber security and defense frameworks, it is possible to organize categories of informational needs in the field of cyber defense to be developed in an organizational environment by middle of through the organizational knowledge cycle; (ii) the establishment of cyber defense informational needs based on the organizational knowledge cycle can methodically enhance the capacity and exercise of cyber defense situational awareness in the chain of decision makers involved in the processes for carrying out cyber defense actions; (iii) it is possible, in the field of cyber defense, using explicit knowledge instruments of the framework type, to radiate aspects of tacit and cultural knowledge in a cyber defense organization, causing learning that is reflected in the cyber defense situational awareness capacity of the several decision-makers at each level of the organization, at different levels up to its commander.

 Information and knowledge are valuable resources in today's economy and are crucial for organisations of all kinds. Knowledge work is work that involves information as input and product, that processes information in order to produce new information and knowledge, incorporating it into processes, products and services and informing decisions at various levels. It is an integrated process, involving various elements of the complex network in which organisations consist of. No agent produces knowledge alone, it will always depend on the connections in the network that is the organisation, and the process by which this happens is the subject of Knowledge Management (KM) which, however, still adopts a functionalist perspective, that does not properly consider human and social aspects, which limits its effectiveness. The research presented here emphasises such aspects and investigates what underlies the behaviour of individuals, what is the frame of orientation through which groups attribute meaning to the environment and build their practical actions. The research adopts the premise that the action of workers in knowledge processes is based on a set of informational practices, adopting the social perspective of Information Science (IS) that understands informational phenomena as a result of the reciprocal influence between the group and the individual. The latter, more than an information user, is an informational subject, who acts in society and, in acting, shapes the group's worldview and its way of acting, while being shaped by the same group. Understanding what guides informational practices in knowledge work offers ways to deal with human and social factors in the organisational environment, supporting KM actions. The documentary method, in a reconstructive social research approach, through the analysis of focus groups, was used to study information practices in knowledge work in an organisational environment. From the analysis of five empirical cases in the Brazilian federal public sector, the informational practices of these groups are highlighted and what constitute the reference frame that guides them is identified. In this way, typical elements that can be repeated in other contexts are pointed out. The research concludes that the socio-interactionist approach of information practices offers new lenses for understanding information phenomena of knowledge work in organisations, which enriches KM perspectives. A protocol for application of the method by researchers in other settings was developed as a byproduct of the experience. Future research possibilities based on this work include expanding the scope of application and analysing more cases.

This thesis investigates the influence of modernity discourse on archival science, especially regarding the conceptions of space and time, and how these dimensions are deeply integrated into archival thinking. The study aims to highlight this integration and propose theoretical-epistemological adaptations that resonate with the complexity of contemporaneity. The research's methodological approach is qualitative and exploratory-descriptive, relying on a comprehensive bibliographic survey. It adopts the method of cross-history, articulating archaeological, hermeneutic, and epistemological dimensions, to enable a multifaceted analysis of archival science, highlighting the intersections between archival knowledge and the conceptions of space and time. The thesis's findings demonstrate that the metanarratives underpinning modern archival discourse, such as the sanctity of evidence, provenance, the records lifecycle, the organic nature of records, and hierarchy in records and their descriptions, have intensely absorbed the principles of modern science, received influences from the modern state, as well as from modern conceptions of space and time. Furthermore, the research notes that the demands of contemporaneity, characterized by technological advances and fluid social changes, challenge the established archival foundations, requiring a critical review and update. To this end, the thesis identifies and discusses emerging theoretical frameworks and archival practices adherent to the spatio-temporal conception and contemporary reality. Among these new approaches are emphasized the archival multiverse, the records continuum, a renewed conception of the record, the rediscovery of provenance, archival autonomy, participatory archives, community archives, and a revision of archival description. The research conclusion emphasizes the necessity for archival science that, grounded in a robust and contemporary theoretical framework, can embrace the complex dynamics of both present and future, fostering an archival practice that is critical, reflective, and in sync with the ongoing transformations of society and technology. The thesis aims to represent a significant step forward for the advancement of Brazilian archival science, suggesting paths for the renewal of theoretical and methodological foundations in response to the demands of the contemporary era.

Through information and communication technologies and the ease of access, society increasingly produces, utilizes, and disseminates image resources. Thus, photographic records have been present in various activities performed in society since the advent of photography, nearly two centuries ago. The main objective of this study was investigate the public photographic collections of the Government of the Federal District (GDF) that reflect the historical process of territorial settlement of the Brazilian Central Plateau, beginning with the construction of Brasília, and analyze the importance of their use in governmental and scientific contexts. The conceptual basis is grounded in Information Science, particularly in aspects related to Photodocumentation and the territorial settlement of the Brazilian central plateau, and its photographic holdings. In line with the identified research question and the proposed objectives, the methodological procedure initially involved analyzing the administrative structure of the GDF; mapping the district public institutions that hold collections and/or photographic documents related to territorial settlement; identifying the local public institutional photographic holdings or documents; and finally, developing a situational diagnosis using the Information Architecture model proposed by Lima-Marques and Macedo (2006), related to gathering , organization, and availability of the located items. Thus, this research can be classified as qualitative and exploratory, with a documentary and bibliographic nature. The data gathering instrument combined comprehensive observation with open questionnaires. Among the results achieved, the mapping of the district administrative structure and the corresponding identification of public institutions holding photographic documents were observed. The existence, location, thematic characterization, organization, and access methods of such information were revealed. The results potentially contribute to the scientific debates surrounding Information Science and Photodocumentation, with their multiple ramifications.

Promulgated as federal law, respectively, in 2011, the Access to Information Law (LAI) and, in 2018, theGeneral Law of Personal Data Protection (LGPD), both have as a common denominator the goal ofregulating access to information in Brazil. This dissertation has the general objective of identifying in theLAI and in the LGPD references to informational subjects aiming to analyse the intersections and/ordifferences in the way these subjects are presented in both laws. The guiding hypothesis of the researchis that both laws presuppose an informational subject, one in the collective domain (LAI) and the other inthe individual domain (LGPD). The corpus of the research comprised bills and the definitive legislationon LAI and LGPD, as well as interviews with selected individuals. The methodological proceduresconsisted of surveying the relevant legislation to identify how the informational subject appears in bothlaws; surveying the names of people directly involved in the drafts of the two laws; drafting a semi-structured interview script and conducting the interviews. The research data were analysed according tothe content analysis proposed by Laurence Bardin (1977), comprising three basic steps: pre-analysis,material exploration, and treatment and interpretation of information. It is concluded that theinformational subjects in the LAI and LGPD texts are distinct. In the case of LAI, It is referred to as"interested" and "requester", described as a subject that accesses, inquires and demands publicinformation. On the other hand, in the LGPD, there is a "holder" and "singular" subject, who consents ornot on the access and use of their information. Thus, from a comparative perspective, we see theconstruction of a collective and active subject in the role of citizen, in the case of LAI, and an individual and passive subject, whose role is to consent or not, rectify or deny access and use of their personalinformation. Finally, it is questioned to what degree it can be said that there is an informative self-determination of the holder of personal data as provided in the LGPD.

The research presented here proposes an analysis of the creation of the National Museum of the Republic in Brasilia, a public museum run by the Federal District's Department of Culture and Creative Economy, and aspects related to the formation of its collection. We were interested in analyzing the creation of a "national museum" in Brasilia, understanding its trajectory of operation, collection and management, which has led it to become a visual arts museum since its inauguration in 2006, thus raising considerations about cultural policies and their relationship with social memory. For this approach, we also seek to propose a debate on the concept of "nation" and "nationality" present in its name.

Government open data initiatives aim to increase transparency government, reduce corruption and engage civil society in government decision-making government, making data collected by federal, state and municipal, to the public for free use, reuse and redistribution. In Brazil, Law No. 12,527, of 2011, known as the Access to Information Law and Decree nº 8,777, of 2016, which established the Open Data Policy of the Federal Executive Branch are legal instruments that guide and institutionalize open government actions in the country. Linked to the Ministry of Education - MEC, federal universities are subject to compliance with the Open Data Policy of the Federal government; In this sense, the main objective of this research is to analyze the opening of data from Brazilian federal university libraries, considering what prescribes open government initiatives and the provisions of current Brazilian legislation, using as a parameter of performance indicators for libraries modified by the ISO standard 11620:2014. The methodology was divided into two stages, the first with the quantitative and  qualitative analysis of the data made available by the libraries in the Data Monitoring Panel Open and on the Brazilian Open Data Portal; in the second stage, the questionnaire was applied as a data collection instrument, with the research universe being the 69 universities Federal agencies linked to the MEC. Analysis of the collected data reveals that the majority of Brazilian federal universities do not include in their Open Data Plans and in the opening of their data, data about their libraries, which highlights the non-compliance with the provisions of manual of good practices prepared by the Comptroller General of the Union and the low representativeness of libraries in these important sources of information for society. The responses to the questionnaire showed that the libraries collected data, produced reports and use their own mechanisms for disseminating their results, but their participation in open data activity within the institution is still limited, having great potential to expand its involvement in promoting transparency and access to information within of the institution.

Brazil is one of the countries that provides a significant amount of open data worldwide. Nevertheless, the lack of interest, knowledge, and understanding of what is available prevents the proper utilization of the published information, thus failing to generate returns for society. This study aims to provide an Information Architecture (IA) to support the analysis of open data. The validation of this IA will be conducted through a proof of concept focused on understanding the budget of higher education in selected Brazilian institutions.

Audiovisual records make up a large part of the documentary collection of the institutions. The characteristics of the media of audiovisual documents often induce the producer and receiver of the documentation to store them in different places due to the needs of conservation and access. When a documentary set is dismembered, understanding of the links between the document is lost. Generally, one part ceases to make sense to the institution and the other, although it can be used, lacks more accurate information. Depending on the function of the record, it may even lose its probative, discal and/or administrative value. The lack of records management in an institution can cause a lack of control of document production, difficulty in defining an appropriate destination and, consequently, the impossibility of access. The audiovisual documents, as well as the other archival documents, compose an organic set that justifies their existence and fulfills a mission, in addition to relating to a whole for the complete understanding of its purpose of creation and processing. The objective of this research is to analyze the document management applied to audiovisual documents in the Federal Public Ministry (MPF), through the Federal Attorney General's Office (PGR). The research is of a qualitative, analytical and comparative nature, based on bibliographic and documentary sources, using the interview technique for field research to be carried out at the aforementioned institution, whose answers will be compared with the bibliographic sources. A comparison will be made between what guides archival principles and concepts regarding the management given to archival documents of the audiovisual genre and what is carried out in practice by the MPF. As a result, we found that the institution analyzed has a Document Management Policy and, although recommendations for the management of archival documents are found there regardless of their support,

Considering new approaches in archival description, highlighted by the International Council on Archives' (ICA) adoption of the semantic web through the development of the conceptual data model Records in Contexts (RiC), the research addresses the lack of systematization in studies on the benefits that such technological innovation offers to archives, as well as the introduction of emerging concepts such as multidimensional description and an expanded view of the principle of provenance. The study is dedicated to the analysis and systematization of both the significant updates in archival description and the ecosystem of semantic technologies incorporated into the RiC model, including the Entity-Relationship (ER) model, the semantic web itself, and Linked Open Data, along with their respective standards and protocols. The state of the art of the RiC model's application in international initiatives is also investigated. Through a qualitative and exploratory approach, employing techniques such as content analysis and the application of questionnaires, it is observed that although the RiC model presents challenges in implementation when compared to the ICA's traditional description standards, and requires new qualifications for archivists and professionals in the field, it provides substantial advantages for the structuring of new 'entities' and the mapping of their interrelationships. In the realm of digital documents, the RiC emerges as a potent technology that enhances the preservation of contexts inherent to the production, maintenance, and use of archives, thereby strengthening access and expanding the possibilities for the use and reuse of archival data.

The information indexing and retrieval process plays a crucial role in the organization efficient document management and quick access to relevant content. The research examines the application of automated techniques for indexing documents, focusing on extracting terms from highlights. The work methodology has a qualitative approach, falling within the type of review of literature characterized as narrative, as it was carried out inductively, based on the search for bibliographical survey searching for terms related to the themes of work in databases
indexing. The results emphasize the importance of continued research and development of effective algorithms for automatic indexing of documents based on terms extracted from emphasis. This approach has the potential to improve the efficiency of information organization and make access to documents more accurate and agile in several areas, including librarianship, information science and document management systems.

The need to know has been a constant in society since ancient times. Its intensity has increased inversely proportional to the spaces of time in which evidence of availability of information for the construction of knowledge is noticed. There was a time when it was the privilege of few to access content capable of generating a knowledge construct. Nowadays, given the evolution of society that broke barriers and allowed universal access to information niches, scientific or not, the construction of knowledge has proven to be more dynamic and facilitated by various means and tools that have made information a strategic resource. able to be made available instantly and without physical boundaries. The present work addresses the use of digital platforms for the dissemination of scientific production, periodicals, archival documents and historical and cultural imagery in a broad way, contributing to the construction of knowledge. Addresses Information Management as a means of boosting the intellectual assets of institutions today, representing their values to society. In this context, a public institution is presented as a cutout to highlight Information Architecture as a factor of great importance to enable the sharing of informational objects, guaranteeing the completeness and authenticity of its contents, based on the use of Distributed Ledger Technology. The concepts of the Open Access Movement are used, covering the ways that characterize the form of content availability (Green and Gold), Information Architecture, Information Management and Blockchain as Distributed Ledger Technology. It’s this democratization of information that we seek to point out as necessary for characterizing informational synergy in the construction of knowledge. The use of open source software to delimit the experience of a shared informational management attests to a wider range of communication in society by providing more accessible means for public producers and consumers of information. The conceptual model proposed in this research points to the possibility of using a Distributed Ledger Technology systems as a way to guarantee the integrity of the document flow and emerges as a solution for the authenticity and preservation of the contents of repositories to be made available to society. The democratization of information emerges as a proposal for informational synergy capable of transcending the limits of conservative institutions and enabling the construction of broader knowledge.

Facing the communication difficulties faced by people without orality (oral part or spoken use of a language), the possibility of simulating real world models in a computational way capable of reproducing or emulating human characteristics, arise as a real possibility to support the need to communicate. In this context, this research proposes the development of a multimodal information architecture for oral communication using concepts applied in semiotics associated with artificial intelligence. This architecture proposes to attribute to the meaning a signifier that is individual and unconventional, for the production of computer-generated speech. In this way, it is believed that a person may be able to express information, having as primary source only a mental association. The results indicate that this informational architecture promoted a significant reduction of noise in the communication process between sender and receiver.

At the end of 2019, humanity was hit by a health crisis of global proportions, which brought immense health challenges, but also highlighted informational problems, such as the huge amount of problematic content that began to circulate about the coronavirus, especially on the Internet. In addition, in Brazil, there was strong politicization around issues related to the pandemic. Given this reality, the research aims to investigate, within the scope of online social networks, information practices in relation to content about the Covid-19 pandemic, with special attention to the ways in which phenomena such as infodemic, disinformation and post-truth impacted internet users, in a context of high political polarization. It is a study of information users supported by the social paradigm and the perspective of informationa practices. To achieve this goal, four public Facebook groups were followed for 17 months using non-participant observational netnography. Through the application of Content Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis and Connected Concept Analysis, the results showed high polarization between individuals and considerable impact of ideas propagated by the Federal Government in the perception of Internet users. These findings show that, in Brazil, the health emergency was seen more as a political problem than, properly speaking, a public health problem.

In 2018, the Ministry of Culture, the Brazilian Institute of Museums (Ibram) and the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) signed an important partnership with the objective of researching methodologies focused on collaboration and social management of digital collections, entitled Collection Platform Project. The partnership remains, however, currently with the University of Brasília (UnB). One of the main fruits of this project was the development of the free Tainacan software, a flexible tool, aimed at the dissemination and interoperability between Brazilian digital cultural collections, which allows cataloging, organizing, storing and sharing information with ease. Thus, of the 27 museums directly managed by Ibram, 20 have their digital collections, partial or total, available on the Web through Tainacan, totaling 22 museum collections. This scenario brought relevant and exciting possibilities, but along with these, it brought challenges in the search and retrieval of information. In this way, UnB in partnership with Ibram carried out, as a doctoral work, research in favor of developing a new service for searching and retrieving information, based on the automated aggregation of the metadata of digital museum objects, entitled Brasiliana Museums. The studies contemplated research of an applied nature, of a descriptive nature, with a qualitative approach, with a deductive method, which uses as research techniques: systematic observation in real life, non-participant; documentary research; bibliographic research and the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and as a research method, the study of multiple cases. The survey carried out through research techniques resulted, mainly, in the description of several cultural data aggregators built by different countries, seeking to identify the context in which they are inserted, the main results, the processes and the technologies used, to subsidize the guidelines for building the Brazilian aggregation service. Of these, two were considered more relevant to the proposal, having been studied in more detail, the Digital Public Library of America.Inc, a non-profit institution that maintains the integrated search portal Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) in which millions of materials from libraries, archives, museums and other cultural institutions across the United States of America in a single discovery experience, and the Europeana Foundation, an independent, not-for-profit organization that operates the Europeana Collections platform, which contains thousands of items from European archives, libraries and museums. From the results obtained and Ibram's needs, it can be concluded that the technologies found did not fully meet Brazilian specificities. Thus, the choice of technologies began, looking for modern, free tools, with an active community, with high performance, scalable, that allowed integration with other tools and that were also relatively simple to implement. It was then decided to use the Elastic Stack, which consists of four tools: Beats, Logstash, Elasticsearch and Kibana, which aims to obtain data from any source, in any format, to search, analyze and visualize everything in real time. Thus, they are integrated into Tainacan, composing an aggregation process consisting of five main stages: i) mapping of metadata from the original museums to the Ibram standard, making data available in an open format; ii) automated collection of metadata from digital objects in collections; iii) aggregation and transformation of these data; iv) sending and storing metadata in Tainacan, for the creation of the Portal Brasiliana Museums; v) sending and storing metadata to Elasticsearch and; vi) creation of the analytical, interactive panel, composed of visualization elements. As a result, the pilot project of the information search and retrieval service, Brasiliana Museums, is presented, in which more than 17 thousand digital objects can be added in a single Tainacan installation, in addition to creating an analytical panel that allows Ibram to obtain a vision macro of all your collections. It should be noted that the other Ibram museums (seven not yet available on the Web) can enter the aggregation process, expanding the possibilities of searching and retrieving information from the collections, after all, the choice of multicase study allows us to predict similar results, in a similar way to the method of experiments. Finally, prototyping the service proves to be an efficient solution, both from the point of view of socializing and disseminating digital objects, and in terms of monitoring and tracking information from collections through analytical panels, in addition to representing a cheap technological solution. and feasible to implement. As future work, two points deserve attention, the first, at a technical level, concerns the exclusion of digital objects at the source, to automatically reflect the action in the aggregator. The second, conceptual, concerns studies regarding the quality of the source data and how this reflects on the quality of the search and retrieval of information from the aggregated data.

The study aims to identify requirements for digital preservation of photographies, with the case Brazilian elections candidacy registration process. The object of study was defined as the digital preservation in the photographic heritage universe of electoral justice. In such context, the guiding problem consist of answering the following questions: what are the indispensable requirements for carrying out the digital preservation of photographies? How can management processes influence digital preservation actions and ensure long-term access to information? The research defined the characterization of the case as a delimited and contextualized unit, seeking to represent digital preservation in the context of the Information Cycle and the Photodocumentation. The political candidacy registration process was defined as a reference for analysis and study of the behavior of the photographic documents due to understanding that is the beginning of the political electoral process in Brazil and such photographic document in this informational flow becomes a strategic resource. The research described the measures and the policies adopted by the Electoral Judiciary that adopted the long-term preservation of digital photographies. Digital preservation is considered a series of activities and strategic actions to ensure that digital objects can be accessed, made available, reproduced, used, and understood over time. In this point, the research used the case study methodology in order to facilitate the formulation of guidelines for maintain digital photographic documents, in addition to assisting in the understanding of strategies for the evaluation and preservation of these authentic digital documents.

Scientific communication, which concerns the production, dissemination and appropriation of scientific information, has been the object of study in several areas of knowledge. In information science, it includes the spectrum of activities from the moment the researcher identifies a study question until the moment when the knowledge produced is validated by the scientific community. Informational practices, in turn, have sought to understand the subjects' actions through conscious and unconscious processes, resulting from their social interactions. It is assumed that the informational processes do not exist dissociated from the subjects, and it is through social relations that one should investigate and understand how and why subjects act in a certain way, attribute meaning and conserve or transform their relationships. That said, this research has as its object the meanings attributed by researchers to the processes of production, communication and appropriation of scientific information on pre-exposure prophylaxis to the human immunodeficiency virus. It adopts a conceptual model as a theoretical-methodological resource, elaborated from concepts extracted from the theoretical foundation. It has a constructivist claim, a qualitative approach and a descriptive purpose. The population consisted of Brazilian and French researchers-doctors with active research projects related to the topic. With regard to the collection, the survey method was used and as a technique, the semi-structured interview. Data were described and analyzed using linear progression and thematic coding. The results demonstrate that the production of scientific knowledge about PrEP starts in different contexts and is influenced by several aspects, such as research group meetings and informal conversations with the general population. Communication, in turn, tends to be centralized in the academic sphere. Regarding appropriation, it should be noted that the main aspect pointed out was the impact index. Finally, in the researchers' view, scientific communication fails when it does not return its results to society.

Introduction. With the exponential increase in data, due to its digital nature, problems of absence or discrepancy in registered metadata also increase, making it an expensive and arduous job for a human being to fix. There is a need for investigations to improve the organization and facilitate information retrieval. In this context, the application of artificial intelligence through machine learning, using automatic and semi-automatic tools in a complementary way to collect metadata and generate subjects, improves its indexing and searches in digital repositories.

Goal. Propose a generic framework with a set of activities and techniques to automatically generate and index subjects in a digital repository, aiming at organizing and retrieving information.

Methods. Systematic Literature Review, studying the subject of automatic and semi-automatic generation of metadata, its tools, techniques, characteristics and functions. Exploratory research was carried out in scientific databases of Information Science, selecting specific journals for evaluation according to the main classification lists. A mixed method was used for data analysis, with quantitative and qualitative approaches, with a strict review protocol being defined. Tools were identified to help applied research, through their customization and joint use of several machine learning algorithms that would help in the process of automatic subject generation. At the end, a case study applied to the “research model” was carried out.

Results. It is concluded that the automatic generation of metadata techniques help in suggesting subjects for robust documents such as a thesis and dissertation, expanding the number of descriptors, in order to facilitate the configuration of taxonomies, filters and facets. This work proposed the generic framework validated by the research model, through the applied case study. This framework can be adapted and applied in any area of knowledge, with the aim of improving and facilitating the search and retrieval of information in digital repositories by users and managers of these collections.

Information Literacy(IL) consists of a process that integrates actions to locate, select, access, organize, use information and, thus, generate knowledge, aiming at decision making and problem solving. The theory of Learning Styles (LE) defends the identification of the preferred way in which the subject relates to the learning conditions. Thus, Information Literacy contributes to the learning necessary for the search and use of information. While Learning Styles contribute to more inclusive educational practices. Information literacy contributes in the necessary learning to the Search and use of information. The general objective of this thesis is to analyze how Information Literacy activities are influenced by the Learning Styles in the Degree in Chemistry course at the Federal Institute of Brasília (IFB), Gama campus. The specific ones are to characterize the profile of the participating subjects of two undergraduate classes, of the quasi-experiment; detect the determining Learning Styles in just one of the classes; develop and apply similar Information Literacy activities in the two classes of the course; compare the learning levels between the two classes; and identify the relationship between Learning Styles and Information Literacylearning levels. The theoretical framework is therefore concentrated on three axes, namely: learning, Information Literacy and Learning Styles. Also discussed are: reflective thinking, prior knowledge, experiential learning, curriculum and teacher training. The methodology, of a descriptive nature, has a qualitative and quantitative approach, whose investigation method is quasi-experimental. The data collection instruments are the questionnaire, the Learning Styles identification inventory and the Information Literacy activities. The results indicate that, in the experimental group, the material produced was better classified than that presented by the control group; and indicate that identifying and using the Learning Styles can favor the student's performance both in the execution of tasks and in the production of material resulting from teaching-learning.

As a result of the development of the Open Access Movement to scientific information, aspects within or related to the scholarly communication framework have demanded greater attention. Research on Open Access Citation Advantage (OACA) and, more recently, on Open Access Altmetrics Advantage (OAAA) has begun to be developed in the field of Information Science, even if not very extensively. Issues associated with scientific communication also tend to be influenced by the specificities of periods of Public Health Emergencies of International Importance, such as the Corona Virus Disease Pandemic (COVID-19), which increased the need for information and accelerated the dynamics of scientific production. The volume of scientific publications, differences between areas of knowledge, the use of preprints for dissemination of discoveries, and the time needed for the evolution of science are points that draw attention concerning the scientific production of COVID-19 and that can be observed from various perspectives. Thus, the present research seeks to identify the dynamics of bibliometric citation impact and altmetrics in articles and preprints on the subject of COVID-19, to bring closer the discussion about the global phenomenon that has affected society from the perspective of Information Science. The development of studies through the application of quantitative bibliometric and altmetric approaches provides significant collaborations for the resolution of health crises since they provide the visualization of the efforts made to produce knowledge aimed at understanding outbreaks caused by diseases. As for the methodological aspect, the research is characterized as quantitative and makes use of descriptive, comparative, and Spearman correlation analyses of data related to a sample of 90,000 publications, 83,477 articles, and 6,523 preprints on COVID-19. Presents results on the observation of the influence of variation between access types (open and closed), access subtypes (bronze, gold, hybrid, green and closed) and publication types on the values of bibliometric and altmetric indicators calculated for citation data, readers/captures in Mendeley and Twitter mentions. It emphasizes that all calculated correlations are characterized as significant, however, no values obtained for Spearman correlation coefficients demonstrate correlations interpreted as weak or perfect.

This master's thesis seeks to understand the Information Regime in George Orwell's 1984. The data survey was based on the concept of Information Regime associated with the content analysis method. The categories found in Orwell's book were: organizations, preferred means and resources, information authorities, and rules. After analyzing the content that concerns the Information Regime, it was found that its goal is constant alteration of the past, through records and manipulation of memories. It was also inferred that the use and manipulation of Memory, History, information, and forgetting is necessary for the realization of the alteration of the past. A contextualization of the early period of the Science field with the life and work of George Orwell was performed. Possible approximations between fiction with Memory, History, Information and Literature were presented. Presented and analyzed the Information Regime in the work 1984, besides exposing the concept itself in relation to the book. It is sought to approach the studies carried out in the field of Information Science to the narrative fiction, as long as there are themes that are pertinent to the field of Information Science.

Scientific journals and their respective articles are channels of scientific communication of recognized importance. The quality of these publications can be quantitatively measured, monitored, and evaluated through indicators, traditionally using citation-based bibliometric indicators. However, the use of altmetric indicators allows capturing different ways of measuring academic and social impact of scientific publications. In this context, this research seeks to contribute to the existing debate on the relationships, characteristics, and complementarities of altmetric and bibliometric indicators. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze the coverage of data sources and relationships between bibliometric and altmetric indicators within the scope of open access journal portals of Brazilian universities. With a quantitative and descriptive approach, has been made the analysis of citation coverage and indexing of articles in the bibliographic data sources Crossref, Scopus and Web of Science, as well as the coverage and mentions of articles in the altmetric data sources Mendeley, Twitter, Facebook, viewing and downloading articles from the portals. In addition, correlations are analyzed between bibliometric and altmetric indicators and between them, for all articles, in different areas of knowledge, and according to the year of publication of the article. The results of the analyzes showed that the citation and indexing coverage of journals and articles in the Crossref data source, in general, are higher, indicating that this source has great potential for monitoring and evaluating science, especially in countries with production underrepresented in international comercials databases. Regarding the coverage of altmetric sources, Mendeley readers were highlighted, and their relevance to certain areas of knowledge, such as Life Sciences. Mendeley presented the highest correlations with the citation data, in the different sources, indicating that this media has a greater capacity to predict citations, and that altmetric indicators from this source are less complementary to the bibliometric ones, and can be glimpsed as alternatives for some areas with less international insertion. Altmetric indicators from the social media Twitter and Facebook have shown to have little or no influence on citations of articles within the scope of journal portals from Brazilian open access universities, suggesting that there is low overlapping of citation indicators, with the results being aligned with the arguments that argue that such indicators are complementary. The temporal relationships between the analyzed altmetric and citation indicators, unlike other studies, were close to zero. The coverage and correlations found indicate that there are differences in academic practices between the areas of knowledge, therefore, there are different potentialities of the indicators for monitoring and evaluating science in each one of these areas. From these results, it is concluded that new data sources, such as Crossref (citation) and Mendeley (altmetric) are very promising for the evaluation of science published in journal portals. The use of altmetric indicators from other social media deserves to be better understood for their effective use in monitoring and evaluating science, but they prove to be a complementary type of metric to citations. Finally, the importance of the science developed in Brazil and the portals of journals managed by universities in the country are highlighted, with the need for a greater presence of these in social media and better organization and description of data, journals and articles indexed by them, in data sources with great potential, such as Crossref.

The central theme of this research is focused on current research information systems, known by the acronym CRIS, which record information from each stage of the research activity, allowing to know the effort of a country in financing its science, due to their singular features to integrate information on projects, researchers, publications, research data, research infrastructures, being the most used model for this purpose. The general objective is to review the history of Brazil to explore the antecedents of the constitution of scientific research agents, such as universities, research institutions, funding agencies, researchers and government actions, as well as the information systems designed to record the resulting research activities. This research is exploratory given the absence of studies based on the themes presented, particularly in terms of research information systems. The results of the studies place us in front of an innovative past, when Brazil launched, in the 1970s, a research information system, named CAPESQ, which was unexpectedly taken out of circulation. Facts, arguments, and explanations are supported by statistical data extracted from official sources on the subject in question, by government archive material and by publications – such as theses, dissertations, journal articles, research reports and books – some of them based on historical archival material. It concludes that Brazil has developed several research monitoring systems, all of them interrupted due to lack of policies and support for their continuity, and that the future lies in systems such as Current Research Information Systems (CRIS).

It is evident the evolution of the role of the Brazilian public university as an increasingly relevant protagonist of the National Innovation System. The knowledge produced by these institutions has been responsible for formulating national strategies for economic and social development, driving technological advances that lead to innovation. Therefore, it becomes relevant the understanding of how the phenomenon of "innovation" manifests itself in the university environment and how it can be dimensioned, measured and evaluated, especially in the context of public institutions that need to account for the resources invested in society. It is assumed that innovation is a complex phenomenon and its measurement has significant limitations in university organizations, which can not be performed solely with traditional indicators, often used to measure innovation carried out by the productive sector. In this context, the general objective of this thesis is to analyze the perception of managers linked to innovation in Brazilian public universities on the object “innovation”, in order to support the proposition of a model capable of adding dimensions and indicators for its measurement. The methodological course, of exploratory study and qualitative nature, begins with the elaboration of a deep theoretical-conceptual framework on the subject, in which the evolution of the conceptualization of innovation and its relationship with the Brazilian university was evidenced, especially after the regulation of the ST&I Legal Framework. To achieve the proposed objective, it was chosen to apply mixed techniques (qualiquantitative approach), involving a broad Systematic Review of Literature, plus bibliometric studies, combined with the purpose of seeking an understanding of the managers’ perception [Pro-rectors and executive directors of Innovation Agencies] regarding the manifestation of this phenomenon in the context of academia. There were selected 11 managers who deal with the innovation ecosystem of federal and state universities.The textual data (interviews) were analyzed using Content Analysis techniques, supported by IRAMUTEQ and ATLAS.ti software, which helped in the process of automating some lexical analyses, enabling the integration of qualitative and quantitative levels (statistics) in the investigation, further qualifying the research results. With the systematization of public managers' perceptions together with the analysis of the innovation indicators identified in the literature, a model proposal that brings together 9 (nine) dimensions of innovation for public universities was reached, namely: : i) human potential; ii) financial resources; iii) management practices; iv) teaching, research and extension; v) partnerships; vi) transfer of knowledge and intellectual property; vii) entrepreneurial capacity; viii) social impact; and ix) environmental impact. As a proposal for future research, it is suggested to study the application of the suggested dimensions, seeking to complement and improve the metrics from innovation maturity models, such as the IRL (Innovation Readiness Level) to measure certain types of innovation. that occur in the broad context of universities.

The research comes with a reflection on the moment in which society lives with the predominant use of the internet as a means of communication, globalization and the consequent continuous increase of information. In this scenario, fake news, disinformation and post-truth phenomena also arise, which greatly impact people's lives and the decisions to be made. Hence the need to seek ways to develop critical and reflective thinking in the individual, especially in the learning process. We sought to analyze the incidence of metaliteracy and metacognition in informational behavior in the continuing education of teachers at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Brasília (IFB). Therefore, through a literature review, the concepts of information literacy (IL), metaliteracy, metacognition, reflective thinking and teacher training are reviewed. Metaliteracy was conceived as a strategy that expands IL by recognizing that the student is also a consumer, producer and disseminator of information in collaborative spaces, with broad competencies, through interaction with other literacies and emerging technologies. The continuing education of teachers is carried out throughout their professional trajectory in the teacher's work environment, with the possibility of creating spaces for reflection and updating of teaching activities. The methodological approach of this investigation is empirical with the use of quantitative-qualitative techniques and as a procedure the adoption of a case study. Data collection is carried out using two instruments: a questionnaire and an interview with the Online Focus Group (GFO). The questionnaire was sent to professors working at the IFB on all campuses and received 110 responses; the interview with the GFO took place with seven professors from four different campuses. Results from both the GFO and the questionnaire show that teachers improve their ability to assess the value of information, reflect on the complexity of tasks, and develop strategies to facilitate learning. In addition, they positively perceive activities related to informational behavior. They claim that when they recognize gaps in knowledge, they seek help from experts. Thus, it is observed that there are indications of metacognitive and metaliteracy strategies in the informational behavior of teachers, but these need to be methodically applied in the learning process, especially those related to the learning objectives of metaliteracy. With this, it was evidenced that the participants would be more successful in their training if they applied practices of metaliteracy and metacognition, since these encourage the use, search and sharing of information in a reflective and collaborative way, which can enhance the process. of learning in continuing in-service training

Research data management practices have become indispensable in the current context
of the scientific research, characterized mainly by large-scale data production and
agility in the communication and use of information. The study aimed to propose
guidelines for institutional policies of open research data management in universities. The theoretical framework adopted in the research was based on studies in the field of the Information Science that cover the context of the Science and its classifications, of the Open Science phenomenon, of research data (life cycle and management), institutional repositories and metadata for the description of datasets. The theoretical assumption in the conceptual model of the research declares that the understanding of the diferences between the areas is essential in conducting institutional practices for the open research data management in universities. Methodologically, the study adopted the ontological philosophical assumption, in light of the constructivist interpretive structure. The study is of analytical nature and used qualitative research strategy. In order to identify research data management practices in different areas, based on scientific literature, the study analyzed articles from scientific journals indexed in the Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) database using the systematic literature review method. In order to identify research data management practices carried out by researchers and identify factors that influence the opening of research data in different áreas of the knowledge, semi-structured interviews by videoconference were conducted with research productivity scholarship holders - (PQ-2 level) from CNPq in the areas of Sociology and Chemistry linked to Brazilian federal universities. The data obtained in the interviews were analyzed according to the processes inherent to the application of the grounded theory method, namely: open coding, axial coding, selective coding and substantive theory. Among the results obtained in the study, it is highlighted that research ethics is the central element for understanding of the research data management practices carried out in the field of Sociology. In Chemistry, this element is proof of data. Furthermore, the infrastructure for the availability of open data is the most important aspect in the context of the factors that influence the opening of research data in the field of Sociology, while in Chemistry, this aspect refers to vulnerabilities in the exposure of data with character of tecnologic innovation. Based on the results mentioned, it was possible to develop fifteen guidelines for institutional policies for the management of open research data in universities.
