Thesis Certification: The Role of BrCris in the Integration and Management of Academic Production in Brazil

The Brazilian scientific production has shown expressive but heterogeneous growth. BrCris is a system that integrates information from several databases to provide a complete view of the research process. It aims to certify and standardize scientific data, strengthening the reliability and quality of information. In this work, a case study is carried out to certify theses and dissertations registered in the Lattes Platform, using the Brazilian Portal of Open Access Publications and Research Data (Oasisbr). As a result of the adopted strategies, it was possible to certify approximately 700,000 theses and dissertations in the Lattes Platform curricula, providing greater reliability and access to certified documents.
