Abstract

Technological evolution is a factors which has impacted scientific activities, especially communication, as new practices and publication types have emerged, such as data articles. However, although not new, many editors remain unfamiliar with this article type since most Brazilian editorial policies fail to contemplate it. Thus, this study aims to review data articles to compile information on the subject. It uses bibliographic and documental research via Google Scholar for this. Results indicate that data articles already have an established definition, even though they are unsuitable for all data types, and are essential to reuse research data. Likewise, data reuse can somehow change research activities, requiring its dissemination so more researchers can adopt it.
