In the current state of scientific development, identifying how the results of scientific and technological investigations are being published allows us to understand how scientific communication has been used to disseminate the studies carried out and the results achieved. In this scenario, the publication of articles in open access journals appears as an important and interesting mechanism for the dissemination of scientific research, since it facilitates and enables access to them, considering that there are no barriers, especially financial ones, to access the contents of this type of publication. Thus, this work aims to present a characterization of the group of Brazilian researchers who have published articles in open access journals. To this end, the Lattes Platform curricula is used as a data source to initially identify researchers with publications of articles in open access journals and, subsequently, draw a portrait of the profile of these researchers, such as areas of expertise, levels of training and geographic distribution.
