OPEN ACCESS POLICIES AND TARGET 16.10 OF THE 2030 AGENDA IN INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES
Keywords:
information policies, access to information, institutional repositoriesAbstract
This study addresses open access policies in Brazilian university institutional repositories, considering their connections with informational sustainability and public access to scientific information. The general objective was to analyze how open access policies in Brazilian university institutional repositories incorporate informational sustainability guidelines aligned with Target 16.10 of the 2030 Agenda. Methodologically, a documentary analysis was conducted of the open access policies associated with the 42 repositories investigated, based on thematic categories related to the applicability of Target 16.10, such as open access, access to information, institutional responsibility, democratization of scientific knowledge, right to information, and institutional memory. The results indicated the recurrence of principles of informational sustainability in institutional regulations, although without explicit mention of the term. Thematic categories such as “open access” and “right to information” showed higher relative frequency, revealing connections with institutional transparency, democratization of scientific knowledge, and the guarantee of public access to information. In addition, institutional repositories were recognized as spaces for the preservation, dissemination, and visibility of scientific production. It is concluded that the analyzed regulations incorporate elements compatible with Target 16.10 of the 2030 Agenda, particularly regarding the social circulation of scientific knowledge and the consolidation of the memory produced within universities.
