Replication data for: Research Evaluation under Funding Volatility: Scholarly Communication Policy in Brazil, 2015–2025

Evidence and reproducibility materials for the revised documentary policy analysis Research Evaluation under Funding Volatility: Scholarly Communication Policy in Brazil, 2015–2025. Includes a 12-resource official-source register, revision-stage coding summaries, derived nominal expenditure data, scholarship amounts and separately calculated changes, analytical tables, claim mappings, a methodological validation report, and a preserved 65-record historical inventory. The unresolved 2021 discrepancy between MCTI tables 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 is explicitly recorded. AI-assisted source and methodological validation was completed at the author’s request on 30 September 2026. This is documentary and arithmetic validation, not independent human peer review or estimation of causal effects on researcher behaviour. The package does not reconstruct a historical 118-document corpus. Third-party full texts are linked, not archived. The 12 entries are linked resources, not independent observations. No acceptance or publication by Science and Public Policy is implied.
