2026/04/07 – Le Baromètre français de la science ouverte : un passage à l’échelle réussi
“This text, revised following an international workshop held in December 2023 at UNESCO, was subsequently put out for global consultation prior to the publication of the final text of the Principles of Open Science Monitoring in July 2025. This marks the first step in the OSMI (Open Science Monitoring Initiative), a global initiative aimed at promoting the adoption of these principles. Coordinated by the UL, SPARC Europe and UNESCO, and funded by the MESRE, OSMI now brings together nearly 200 members from around the world.”
2026/03/27 – Typology of Data Uses: A tool to capture consistent, actionable insights into the uses of data – Make Data Count
“The development of practices and policies in support of data sharing has resulted in a growing number of open outputs being published every year. This has been followed by an increasing interest in understanding how open research objects are used, and efforts to track open science practices. An example of this is the Open Science Monitoring Initiative (OSMI), which has produced a list of monitoring efforts including for instance the national monitoring frameworks implemented in France and Japan.”
2026/03/23 – Connecting the dots – Insights from the Open Science Dashboards role-play event – Freie Universität Berlin
“Open Science activities have advanced considerably across the research landscape. Yet, without consistent monitoring, those activities often remain isolated and receive little recognition from key stakeholders. How far have we really come, and how do we connect the dots?
Open Science Monitoring is one way to address these questions. Initiatives such as the Open Science Monitoring Initiative (OSMI) support development of monitoring approaches and frameworks, including promotion of the Principles of Open Science Monitoring. Visualisation of Open Science practices through well-structured dashboards, in particular, can help inform stakeholders about the state of Open Science at various levels: from an institutional, a disciplinary (e.g. the dashboard shown in Figure 1), up to national and international levels.”
