2026/05/21 – From Principles to Practice: How Institutions Are Shaping the Future of Open Science Monitoring – ISSN Newsletter
“A recent OSMI survey offers early evidence that institutions worldwide are actively adopting the Principles of Open Science Monitoring. Responses from 18 countries reveal growing commitment to transparency, reproducibility, and responsible self-assessment in research monitoring systems. Universities and research centres are integrating open-source tools, FAIR-aligned infrastructures, and accessible dashboards to support evidence-based policymaking and collaboration. The findings also show that the Principles are influencing institutional strategies and Open Access mandates. Looking ahead, organisations plan to strengthen self-evaluation processes, improve interoperability, and ensure monitoring systems remain open, inclusive, and adaptable to diverse research contexts.”

“Members will also strengthen the evidence base and coherence of monitoring efforts by aligning, where appropriate, with relevant international initiatives and shared principles. This includes exploring alignment with frameworks developed through the Open Science Monitoring Initiative to enhance comparability across institutional, national, and international levels”

“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.”
