Abstract

This study analyses the normative content of institutional policies for research data management adopted by Dutch universities, aiming to identify their structural elements, management strategies, and degree of alignment with principles that ensure data findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. The research is qualitative and exploratory in nature, based on systematic documentary analysis of formal and official sources from universities. The findings allowed mapping the frequency and distribution of common elements, as well as identifying conceptual and operational gaps. The results revealed the consolidation of a governance model articulated across national, European, and institutional levels, supported by the integration of digital infrastructures, specialised technical support, and clearly defined responsibilities. The analysed policies demonstrate strong adherence to the FAIR principles, reinforcing both the mandatory nature of data sharing and the ethical and legal responsibilities of institutions. However, weaknesses remain in areas such as metadata, data disposal, cost management, and terminological clarity. It is concluded that the Dutch model serves as a reference for the maturity of its practices and the balance achieved between data openness and protection. The results provide theoretical and practical insights for Brazilian universities to develop comprehensive policies aligned with international standards while remaining sensitive to local specificities, thus contributing to the institutionalisation of research data management and the strengthening of open science in Brazil.
