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.

IBICT/MCTI ORDINANCE No. 148, OF SEPTEMBER 27, 2024General Policy
Guidelines
The Aleia Repository is Ibict's official digital repository for archiving, publishing, disseminating, preserving and sharing digital research data produced by the Ibict scientific community, with the mission of promoting, supporting and facilitating the adoption of open access to research data, fostering new research and promoting Open Science. For the purposes of this document, the institutional scientific community is that constituted by its employees, visiting researchers, scholarship holders and students of the postgraduate program.
The development of the repository aims to:
- Make accessible and give visibility to research data prepared by the Ibict scientific community;
- Ensure the reproducibility and reuse of research data from the institutional scientific community of Ibict;
- Function as a tool to promote transparency and consequently the trust and solidity of the research developed, maximizing the return on the application of public resources;
- Enable the digital preservation of research data, helping to prevent the loss and mismanagement of research data, guiding and encouraging authors in the organization and planning of the life cycle of research data.
Legal Aspects
Some legal aspects must be observed when handling research data, especially in the public and open context. To this end, this policy covers the following:
- Law No. 13,709/2018 - which establishes the General Law for the Protection of Personal Data (LGPD).
- Decree No. 8,777/2016 - which establishes the Open Data Policy of the federal Executive Branch.
- Law No. 12,527/2011 - which regulates the Law on Access to Information (LAI).
- Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council that deals with research and testing on human beings.
Interoperability
Aleia is interoperable and allows the collection of metadata by service providers (harvesters) and other international and national aggregating systems such as the Brazilian Portal of Publications and Scientific Data in Open Access - Oasisbr, Open Access Scientific Repositories of Portugal (RCAAP), Red de Repositorios de Acceso Abierto a la Ciencia (LA Referencia), OpenAIRE and other service providers.
Preservation
Ibict is committed to providing long-term storage for research data deposited in Aleia, in compliance with the recommendations of the digital preservation reference model for digital archives Open Archival Information System (OAIS) and criteria for certification of reliable repositories. When developing digital preservation strategies, consider the risks caused by technological, environmental, cultural, operational, managerial factors, among others, and observe the continued value of the research data to be preserved. In addition, act in accordance with Brazilian legislation and institutional, national and international regulations.
Technological Infrastructure
The technological structure of the Aleia repository is based on Dataverse software, an open-source web application developed in 2006 by the Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences at Harvard University. Dataverse has tools that facilitate the provision of data to other researchers and allows the reuse of other researchers' work more easily.
Aleia has two Dataverse installations, one for approval and the other for production. Both installations run on local servers under the responsibility of the General Coordination of Information and Computer Technologies (CGTI).
Team and its Responsibilities
Aleia allows different roles/permissions to be assigned to users, considering the role they will play in the research data management process.
Aleia Communities
According to the themes worked by Ibict, seven areas were chosen for the creation of communities within Aleia, namely:
- Information Technologies
- Scientific Information
- Information for Sustainability
- Technological Information
- Education and Research
