The general objective of this research is to map the network of scientific co-authorship of Brazilian researchers publisher about the theme digital repositories, as well as to identify the actors with the highest index of centrality in the democratization of knowledge about this theme in teaching and research institutions in Brazil. For the present research, the Relational Method of Informational Analysis (RMAI) was used, starting from quantitative dimensions: bibliometric techniques and measures of analysis of social network (SNA) and qualitative aspects: analytical categories of the social theory of Pierre Bourdieu and his concepts such as scientific field and social capital. For the analysis of the data, we made use of the software UCINET 5.0 and for the graphs, the VOSviewer. The results show the incidence of researchers working at the Federal University of Minas Gerais with a high index of citations and centrality of the degree in the structure, and the other actors are the Federal University of São Carlos and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ). Finally, it is recommended the popularization of institutional repositories in universities and research institutes through the formation of links between central actors with the strategy to promote the democratization of open access for the scientific Information in Brazil.
