Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the theoretical-methodological principles related to the description and accessibility of research data. Hermeneutics and discourse analysis were applied to literature specialized in: research data; access and description of research data; data repositories. Metadata elements for the description of research datasets that are included in the DataCite Metadata Schema were identified and analyzed, in order to create a descriptive profile proposal for research data sets, which can be applied in the data repositories. If the research data is properly described, then its accessibility and reuse will be further promoted. To do this, it is necessary for academic and research institutions to participate in the generation of open access policies for their research data.
