Acesso aberto à informação científica em pesquisa agropecuária: modelo metodológico de gestão da informação com foco na melhoria da comunicação científica

This work describes the ongoing transformations in both the scientific communication process and the scientific information management as well as presents a methodological model for the implementation and development of the Open Access at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa). The aim is to provide the necessary mechanisms to capture, store, organize, preserve and widely disseminate the scientific knowledge produced by Embrapa, SNPA, and by the scientific community involved in agricultural research, through the implementation of the Open Access strategies. It is our contention that effective information management improves institutional scientific communication, which contributes for the betterment of scientific research related processes.
