Abstract

The Periodical Portal of the Federal University of Sergipe is an important space of scientific communication in which the academic productions of the institution are published and serve as a basis for new research in different areas of knowledge. In this sense, this work sought to analyze the adequacy of the journals of the Portal Periodicals of UFS to the requirements of adhesion to the Rede Brasileira de Serviços de Preservação Digital - Cariniana, in order to allow the digital preservation of the content made available by the Portal journals. This is an exploratory and descriptive research, which began with a bibliographic search in databases using Boolean operators and key words of the study (digital preservation; Rede Cariniana; scientific journals; Information Science). In addition, the journals stored in the Portal were mapped in order to analyze the conformity or not of the UFS Portal journals to the guidelines prescribed by the Rede Cariniana. In the analysis and discussion of the research data it was possible to identify the needs of each journal in relation to digital preservation and Rede Cariniana. Thus, establishing digital preservation strategies and policies will be paramount for the standardization of formats and activities. Moreover, the informational and educational enhancement of journal editors in order to know the importance of digital preservation adequacies of their journals is an alternative to acquire knowledge on how to preserve scientific and institutional knowledge.
