This study aimed to present the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Social Network Analysis (SNA) methodologies, as reliable and dynamic means to map knowledge, in order to answer how to identify, prioritize and map a truly critical knowledge for an organization in an agile and reliable manner? seeking to understand this process within the Digital Humanities phenomenon. Thus, this study is characterized as an exploratory research, since it knows, analyzes, and uses the premises of the AHP and ARS methods and, in this sense, recognizing its investigative procedures, as a documental research. This study concludes that, by means of Critical Knowledge Mapping using computational resources, it is possible to identify and locate relevant knowledge, grouping it by area, generating complete maps of the entire organization, thus making knowledge management an efficient and collaborative process for conducting business strategy.

Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the fundamental aspects of open access representations in Brazilian institutional policies. Methodology: It uses as a qualitative approach the domain analysis and the theoretical-methodological course of content analysis through the application of the categorical technique. Performs the mapping of documents from the Melibea open access policy directory. Results: It points out that there is acknowledgment of the importance of open access as a strategy for the democratization and universalization of knowledge for society and indicates important aspects from the viewpoint of analyzed Brazilian institutions such as copyright, preservation, and open data.
