Digital data have become essential for leveraging scientific research. In part, they serve a purely functional and ephemeral role, but their importance becomes permanent, and their value as a substrate for scientific communication may increase or decrease, depending on the demands and uses to which they are put. In this context, data preservation has become a demand both for researchers and for universities and research centers. In response, in Brazil different repositories have emerged, serving to store data in various areas of knowledge. This research aims to locate repositories that hold primary scientific research data in Brazil. To accomplish this, searches were undertaken in the Re3Data, OpenDoar, ROAR directories and review of the repositories of the Federal Institutions of Higher Education registered with the Ministry of Education. This enabled the location of 20 repositories covering data and the analysis of their main characteristics in relation to subject coverage areas and preservation standards. The data obtained shows that, although most repositories provide alignment with international standards, some do not have adequate infrastructure for the datasets provided. It is considered that there may be a management failure in some repositories, but most are adequate to meet the needs of making scientific data available and searchable across all indicators.
