About Aleia

The Ibict research data repository, Aleia, was launched at the XXII National Seminar of University Libraries in 2023. IBICT/MCTI Ordinance No. 148, of September 27, 2024, regulates the Aleia Repository policy.

Aleia is Ibict's official repository that holds, publishes, disseminates, preserves and shares datasets from Ibict's scientific community (consisting of its staff, visiting researchers, scholarship holders and students of the postgraduate program). Its objective is to promote, support and facilitate the adoption of open access to research data, foster new research and promote Open Science.

In 2016, the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (Ibict) launched the Manifesto for Open Access to Brazilian Research Data for Citizen Science, which aims to demonstrate its strategic and informational value and to stimulate and support movements and initiatives for Open Science in Brazil, translated by broad and unrestricted access to primary research sources used by researchers and other social segments, enabling sharing, reproducibility, verification, evaluation, reuse and redistribution in new contexts and in collaborative and interdisciplinary research. The creation of Aleia was motivated by Commitment 3 of the 4th National Action Plan, which aims to establish mechanisms for governance of scientific data for the advancement of Open Science in Brazil.

Aleia is in operation for the deposit, sharing and opening of research data.
