In this first phase, Corrupteca (http://nupps.usp.br/corrupteca/) will have about 100 thousand digital volumes of full texts. The collection gathers the specific scientific production on corruption extracted from 48.567 scientific journals, available in 1.643 universities and research centers in 63 countries that are part of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) consortium.

In addition, it also has the News Collection, which, in partnership with the Digital Collection of the newspaper O Estado de São Paulo, gathers everything published by the vehicle related to corruption since 1875.

The expectations of the Corrupteca creators are that the gathering of all this scientific and journalistic material will be able to improve the quality of the research, attract the interest of students and even researchers from other universities, expanding the knowledge network.
