Resumo: | Introduction: Sci-Hub is a channel for accessing scientific texts completely free of charge and without the need for registration, which retrieves documents by title or persistent identifiers, even when texts are protected by copyright laws. The article presents the context in which Sci-Hub was created and how it works, informing about the barriers to scientific communication imposed by the current editorial system. Objective: The study investigated the extent of use of Sci-Hub in Brazil among stricto sensu graduate students from different areas. Methodology: The research involved a survey on the motivations for using Sci-Hub, applied with the help of Google Forms. Results: The results showed that around 20% of respondents were not aware of Sci-Hub. Among the 779 graduate students who were familiar with the tool, 88% indicated that they use it regularly, either because of its zero cost or because of its practicality (74%). Just over 14% cited intellectual disobedience as a motivation for using Sci-Hub. The results also indicated that Sci-Hub has remained a shortcut between the researcher and the essential scientific content for carrying out his research and for the evolution of science. Conclusions: It is concluded that the creation of Sci-Hub and its intense use in Brazil and around the world are a symptom of the reaction of scientists to the deteriorated scheme of scientific communication maintained by international publishers and a confirmation of the importance of the principles of Open Science. |

O artigo apresenta o contexto de criação do Sci-Hub e seu funcionamento, informando sobre as barreiras à comunicação científica impostas pelo sistema editorial vigente. Objetivo: O estudo investigou a extensão do uso do Sci-Hub no Brasil entre estudantes de pós-graduação stricto sensu de diferentes áreas. Metodologia: A pesquisa envolveu um survey sobre as motivações para o uso do Sci-Hub, aplicado com o auxílio do Google Formulários. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que cerca de 20% dos respondentes não conheciam o Sci-Hub. Entre os 779 pós-graduandos que conheciam a ferramenta, 88% indicaram usá-la regularmente, seja pelo custo zero ou pela praticidade (74%). Pouco mais de 14% assinalaram desobediência intelectual como motivação para usar o Sci-Hub. Os resultados indicaram também que o Sci-Hub tem se mantido como um atalho entre o pesquisador e o conteúdo científico indispensável para a realização de sua pesquisa e para a evolução da ciência. Conclusões: Conclui-se que a criação do Sci-Hub e sua intensa utilização no Brasil e ao redor do mundo são um sintoma da reação dos cientistas ao esquema deteriorado de comunicação científica mantido pelas editoras internacionais e uma constatação da importância dos princípios da Ciência Aberta.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2024-09-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/htmltext/htmlapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/867388310.20396/rdbci.v22i00.8673883RDBCI: Digital Journal of Library and Information Science; Vol. 22 (2024): Continous Publication; e024001RDBCI: Revista Digital de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação; v. 22 (2024): Publicação Contínua; e0240011678-765Xreponame:Revista Brasileira de Direito Civil (Online)instname:Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Civil (IBDCivil)instacron:Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Civilporenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8673883/34720https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8673883/enhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8673883/34722https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8673883/34723https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8673883/34724https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8673883/34725Brazil; 21st centuryBrasil; Século XXICopyright (c) 2024 Nanci Oddone, Leticia Vitória Rodrigues Lima de Souzahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOddone, NanciSouza, Leticia Vitória Rodrigues Lima de2024-09-28T22:55:50Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8673883Revistahttps://rbdcivil.ibdcivil.org.br/rbdcPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/oai||rbdcivil@ibdcivil.org.br2358-69742358-6974opendoar:2024-09-28T22:55:50Revista Brasileira de Direito Civil (Online) - Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Civil (IBDCivil)false |
