The dissemination of scientific information in government schools as a factor of social innovation

Introduction: local development and social inclusion are fundamentally linked to the dissemination of scientific information as a factor of social innovation. In this context Schools of Government must be structured as spaces for the exchange of critical knowledge of the underlying power relations in access to knowledge. Objective: it aims to verify the frequency of occurrence of open access journals and open repositories as tools to disseminate scientific information in government schools of the Brazilian Public Ministry and to analyze their importance in the transformation of social reality for social innovation. Different concepts of social innovation were approached in dialogue with the formative role of the State, through its Schools of Government and its different instruments of dissemination of scientific information. Method: it consisted of an exploratory study of a qualitative nature, with data collection utilizing documentary research in open repositories and corporate portals of Government Schools of Brazilian Public Ministries and data treatment through tabulation of the frequency of occurrence of the instruments. Conclusions: it suggest that the number of Government Schools that do not have tools to disseminate open scientific information is still high. The study demonstrates the relevance of institutional policies that strengthen the Schools of Public Prosecutions, especially those Institutional Schools, whose administrative structures integrate the Institutions. It is also important to point out the search for the effectiveness of repositories and magazines, which are not always user-friendly.
