The Open Science Monitoring Initiative is thrilled to introduce the 8 chairs who will lead the four working groups of OSMI. Pragya Chaube and Cristina Huidiu are the Chairs of WG4: Shared resources and infrastructure to analyze scholarly outputs. Hear what they have to say about how they will support this working group.

As open science is vital to scholarly knowledge, to keep ideas flowing, metadata and open infrastructure are vital to open science, enabling visibility, reproducibility, and accessibility. Working with WG4 is a unique opportunity to learn and co-create global solutions for open data infrastructure that are both technically robust and socially responsible. I’m particularly interested in shaping frameworks that balance innovation with ethical, equitable access across geographies.

From research software to preprints and datasets, scholarly outputs are more diverse than ever, and we need shared infrastructure to make sense of the relationships between them and their influence on research and science and science communication in general. I’m especially motivated by the chance to work across borders—pooling our expertise, tools, and data to build something that none of us could do alone. This group brings together a diverse mix of perspectives and expertise to take on that challenge and together with the other working groups within OSMI as well as other open science initiatives, I look forward to achieving our goals and all the learning along the way.
