An Overview of Researches on Digital Accessibility before and after the Great Challenges of SBC 2006-2016: A Systematic Literature Review

Digital accessibility contributes to digital and social inclusion of people. Faced with this potential contribution, in 2006, the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) presented the "Participative and universal access to knowledge for the Brazilian citizen" as one of the great challenges of computing in Brazil for a decade (i.e., 2006-2016). Through this challenge, SBC sought to stimulate and support research in Brazil related to the theme that includes initiatives to promote accessibility. Ten years after the launch of great challenges of SBC, there is a demand to characterize the researches in digital accessibility in Brazil in order to demonstrate the investments and evolution in this area. This work presents an overview of the investments in digital accessibility in Brazil, through the comparative characterization of the research carried out in the country ten years before and ten years after the challenge launched by SBC. The perspective of the presented characterization is relevant because it allows reflecting on how this theme has been explored in the country in the scientific scope, besides evidencing the relevance of maintaining digital accessibility as an important investment area in Brazil.
