Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the data visualization and exploration capabilities of the Brazilian Current Research Information System (BrCris), a national platform designed to integrate, certify and disseminate information on scientific, technological and innovation activities in Brazil. Grounded in international CRIS standards such as CERIF and VIVO, BrCris aggregates heterogeneous open data sources and provides interactive visual interfaces that support data discovery, filtering, analysis and reuse. The study highlights how visual analytics mechanisms embedded in BrCris enhance access to research information, facilitate evidence-based analysis and foster interoperability within the context of Open Science. By examining the platform’s search interface, dashboards and export functionalities, the paper discusses the role of visualization as a central component for understanding national research ecosystems and supporting decision-making processes.
