Repository of student research: necessary and transcendental task

"The fundamental strategy of the open access movement resulted in the deposit or autofile in open access repositories, which constitute digital files of intellectual products of a scientific and academic nature. According to the sources consulted, there was no reference to a repository dedicated to hosting the results of student scientific activity, which has been considered as one of the three pillars of contemporary higher education. There was analyzed the international normative documents and search in the Scopus, SciELO, Pubmed, Redalycs, DOAJ and Google Academic databases in order to present the theoretical foundations for the formulation and design of a student research repository. In order to develop this paper, a series of theoretical methods were used to propose the theoretical foundations for the formulation and design of a student research repository. There are many advantages to universities and health institutions in terms of enhancing the development of their students through research, knowledge transfer, technology transfer and continuing education. The development of a repository will facilitate the access and use of information generated by student research in the country's health sciences, as a result of knowledge management, integrating into the nascent group of repositories at the national level, allowing a greater presence in the various global networks, facilitating the visibility of research developed by the students, to the benefit of the quality of higher medical education and the preservation of their institutional memory."
