Abstract

It can be said that scientific community produces research data, as well as uses research data to validate its work. Thus, research data cease to be research products to become informational resources. In this context, digital data repositories play an extremely important role in the scientific research process, since they can be used to share, access, reuse and validate data. In this sense, the informational recognition of research data, in recent years, transformed the view that characterized them as simple by-products of research processes, to the point that researchers, academic institutions and research development agencies begin to understand that these data contribute as a source of informational resources for scientific research and science teaching. Based on this, the objective of this work is to make a preliminary survey of the type of research data generated at the Institute of Radiation Protection and Dosimetry (IRD). For this, an analysis was made of the papers published by the permanent professors of the Post-graduation Program in Radiation Protection and Dosimetry in the last year (2019). It was then generated a table relating the Concentration Areas versus some technical information, regarding the generation of research data. In this sense, the analysis of the data of the IRD consists of a initial stage to assist the creation of the Institute's Digital data repository, which aims to provide the research data in order to be used in other researches.

Highlights

  • It can be said that the informational recognition of research data in recent years has transformed the view that characterized them as simple by-products of the research processes, to the point that researchers, academic institutions and research promotion agencies begin to understand that these data can be a important source of information resources for scientific research and science teaching [2]

  • Linked to the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN), it works in collaboration with universities, government agencies and industries to promote the safe use of ionizing radiation and nuclear technology

  • It is understood that the research database is of great relevance as an information resource, becoming an essential part of the research infrastructure on a global scale, making an important part of the research activity visible and open to society

Summary

Introduction

The research data can be classified as: observational (obtained through direct observations); computational (results from the execution of computational models or simulations); experimental (from controlled situations in laboratories) and identified as raw) or preliminary (derived directly from scientific instruments); derived (results from processing or combining raw data or other data); and referential or canonical (collections of data consolidated and archived generally in large data centers, e.g. genetic sequence, chemical structure, etc.) [2]. In this way, the research data can be understood as
