EU Open Science Monitor

Help us improving the indicators!

The consultation is now over and the updated methodology has been published. Thanks to all who contributed.

The Open Science Monitor tracks the development of open science trends in Europe.

Initially launched in 2017 to support the EU policies, the OSM has been revamped in May 2018 with updated data and visual identity. But open science is continuously developing, and over the next months, new trends, indicators, and data will be added.

We need the input of the open science community to improve the indicators and identify new data sources, as illustrated in the methodological note (pdf). Below, you can comment on the individual indicators of the OSM. Your comments will help improve the Open Science Monitor.

The trends are divided in three groups: open access, open research data, and open collaboration. We need your help in particular to address these three questions:
- What are new trends (e.g. open research data) currently not covered that are important part of open science?
- What are new indicators (e.g. number of data repositories) for each trend?
- What are new sources (e.g. re3data.org) for each indicator?

This consultation will remain open for the full duration of the project, but in order to actually improve the methodology, the deadline for contribution is August 31st, 2018.

Only the indicators marked with * have been already published in the present version of the Open Science Monitor.
