Introduction: This article recognizes the strategic importance of open-access repositories for knowledge management in Health Sciences in Panama, particularly in the College of Nursing of Universidad de Panama. These repositories are essential for scientific research, digital culture, internationalization, and academic dissemination, demanding the incorporation of open science technologies that facilitate global access to locally produced literature. Objective: To systematize research papers, theses, articles, and academic materials from the Department of Adult Health into a single repository aligned with the open science principles to consolidate and disseminate the scientific production of the School of Nursing. Methodology: A structured survey of closed questions was used through Google Forms along with a systematic review of scientific literature in databases such as LitMaps, PubMed, Scispace, Consensus, Elicit, and ScienceDirect.
Results: Over 50% of the participants were unfamiliar with the concepts of metadata and research repositories. Despite this, there was considerable interest in their implementation. Participants critically appraised the importance of metadata and identified areas for improvement like training, technical standardization, and strengthening of technological infrastructure. Conclusions: The implementation of an open-access repository for the School of Nursing is crucial to centralizing and making scientific production visible. This process requires strategic planning, continuous training in metadata management, and the adoption of open science policies that guarantee its sustainability.
