This article presents a proposal for a value-added Research Support Tool (RST), which is part of the Open Journal System (OJS). It describes the proposal's achievements so far, such as: a multidimensional information sources quality criteria framework; the RST/Context terms in translation to Portuguese; evaluation of the default sources; and an abstract template for the sources to be maintained or incorporated into the System. It discusses the recurrent problems concerning information sources and information retrieval, as well as the questions arising from cutting-edge communication technology.
