The Communication of open scientific data in Humanities

Abstract

In Argentina in 2013, Law 26,899 of Open Institutional Digital Repositories (AA) was promulgated, thus promoting equal access to scientific information including its data. In line with this, the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC) approved at the end of 2017, the policies of open access to the scientific production of said institution.
The current uncertainty, regarding the management of these scientific data, has prompted several studies focused on answering questions about this practice. This is how an awareness journey begins within the scientific community to share not only the results of research, but also the data produced in them, so necessary for the advancement of science.
A description of the institutional structure that supports the initiative is made. The contributions obtained from interviews and surveys carried out regarding open access references and researchers from the Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades of the UNC, which allows information about the degree of knowledge that some science workers have of the AA to data.
The promotional work carried out by the Oficina del Conocimiento (OCA) of the UNC and the existence of a community in favor of the initiative to share data under the condition of proper administration of them, and on the other hand, the absence of Specific policies for publishing scientific data that generate some hesitation at the time of publication.
