Abstract

The paper aims to report on the main initiatives developed by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) on open access to scientific and technological information, as well as initiating the organization and availability of research data. For this purpose, a history is made, starting in 2008, when the Company, through an internal project, consolidated several actions in the scope of information management, especially the publication of its open access repositories (Alice and Infoteca-e). Next, more recent initiatives are described, such as the Open Access scenario developed within the framework of a strategic institutional project on data, information and knowledge governance, initiated in 2015 and finalized in 2017, which presented a series of guidelines to be observed on the theme by the managers and the community of Embrapa with the purpose of aligning it with the international trends.
