Resumen
The FAIR principles, an acronym for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable, are recognised
worldwide as key elements for good practice in all data management processes. To understand how the
Brazilian scientific community is adhering to these principles, this article reports Brazilian adherence to the
GO FAIR initiative through the creation of the GO FAIR Brazil Office and the manner in which they create
their implementation networks. To contextualise this understanding, we provide a brief presentation of open
data policies in Brazilian research and government, and finally, we describe a model that has been adopted for the GO FAIR Brazil implementation networks. The Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and
Technology is responsible for the GO FAIR Brazil Office, which operates in all fields of knowledge and
supports thematic implementation networks. Today, GO FAIR Brazil-Health is the first active implementation
network in operation, which works in all health domains, serving as a model for other fields like agriculture,
nuclear energy, and digital humanities, which are in the process of adherence negotiation. This report
demonstrates the strong interest and effort from the Brazilian scientific communities in implementing the
FAIR principles in their research data management practices.
