Repositório institucional da Universidade Federal da Bahia: apontamentos para a construção preliminar de um instrumento de avaliação

This article seeks to identify in the literature approaches that contribute to the construction of the assessment instrument for the Institutional Repository of the Federal University of Bahia, in order to serve the repository and contribute to the institutional assessment of the National Higher Education Assessment System (SINAES). The methodology used was the strategic search for the term “evaluation of repositories” and observation of the Repository. The results show the need for discussion, given the lack of standardized documents that support the repositories evaluation. We verified some initiatives, such as the Federal Universities of Santa Catarina and Ceará. We believe that debates on the theme can be intensified and that individual initiatives tend to build criteria and evaluation standards for repositories, so that they can be used as a resource for the evaluation of other repositories as well as institutional evaluation as a whole.
