Open Here, There, and Everywhere? A Comparative Review of Divergences in Open Access Typologies and Definitions in Monitoring Instruments – Louis Bachaud, Didier Torny

“Our review of Open Access definitions and typologies was conducted on a global dataset of Open Access monitors drawn from two sources. Firstly, Schneider and Pampel’s (2025) open dataset of Open Science dashboards (n=58). Secondly, the list of Open Science monitors curated by the Open Science Monitoring Initiative (n=73)”. (…) “The Principles of Open Science Monitoring call for indicators that are both comparable and context-sensitive. This double stake highlights the ambiguity of OA monitors, which have both epistemic aims (empirically documenting academic publishing) and more normative policy objectives”.
