Projeto experimental: acessibilidade de publicações científicas digitais – boas práticas para pessoas autoras e gestoras

Abstract

This work aims to guide the adoption of good accessibility practices for people with disabilities in digital scientific publications through the creation of a digital book. For this, bibliographic research was carried out to understand the state of the art on accessibility in general, disabilities and accessibility applied to the digital context. Based on the results of this research, an exploratory analysis was carried out to select and compile the guidelines of two recognized institutions for digital accessibility – World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Movimento Web Para Todos (MWPT) – and of the main publications and guides with guidelines for digital accessibility published in the last 6 years. The guidelines and publications selected in the exploratory analysis together with the author's experience were adapted to the context of digital scientific publications to structure the content of the digital book, which is the result of this experimental project. Entitled “Accessibility of digital scientific publications – good practices for authors and managers”, the book is aimed mainly at professionals managing scientific information.
