| The STM Open Access Dashboard | https://stm-assoc.org/oa-dashboard/oa-dashboard-2024/ | Tereza Szybisty | STM supports and represents the publishers who are pursuing a more inclusive research ecosystem and are working to ensure that reliable research reaches those who need it most, whether they are researchers, policymakers or the public.This dashboard focus on Open Access data and publishing industry. | International | Global | Not applicable | Nonprofit Organization | International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM) | Privacy Statement – STM Association | 2022 | Ongoing | Open Access, Transformative agreement | This dashboard is based on analysis of data from Scopus, Elsevier, ESAC initiative and the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) and will be updated annually. The data supplied by Scopus are from a combination of both proprietary data and data from openly available sources, including the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and Unpaywall. All data included in this dashboard is available to download via the link at the bottom of this page and to re-use under the terms of a CC BY-NC license. | Scopus data in the form of two separate datasets (overview by countries/regions and overview by funder) was analysed via Microsoft PowerBI. Input data has been enriched by the means of lookup tables, to enable splits by: Open Access types Discipline (STM or SSH) Regions (i.e. groups of countries) Research4Life eligible countries/regions Funders Data visualisations from PowerBI have subsequently been exported in csv format for visualisation using the Flourish platform. Each article, review and conference paper considered in this dashboard was assigned to unique categories for the purposes of analysis and visualisation. For example, where the country/region is displayed, this only reflects the country of the corresponding author, while the countries/regions of co-authors are not shown. Similarly, articles, reviews and conference papers have been assigned to a unique discipline, based on the Science-Metrix Classification of Scientific Journals, and each article, review or conference paper was assigned to a unique OA type (e.g. a gold OA article deposited in an institutional repository is only counted once as gold OA rather than twice as gold OA and green OA). Although this approach introduces an extent of simplification, it was necessary to avoid double counting in our analysis. To understand whether an author was offered gold open access, but did not take it up, Scopus and Elsevier data was examined to establish whether gold open access was used by other publications in the journal. If at least one of the articles in the journal in a given year was published gold open access, then the entire journal is considered to have offered gold open access to all authors in that publication year. With each annual update there will be slight variation across the dataset due to the continuous updating and refinement of the data held within Scopus. https://stm-assoc.org/oa-dashboard/oa-dashboard-2/methodology-and-notes/ | Trying to show how publishers are showing new pathways to publish OA, by developing new business models, and by facilitating other collaborations and initiatives that support OS more broadly. | No, the STM Open Access Dashboard does not have a formal linkage to compliance requirements, sanctions, or funding conditions.

The monitor aims to provide researchers and leadership with up-to-date data on UZH’s progress towards open access, supporting decision-making and advocacy for openness. | Institutional | Europe | Switzerland | Research Organization / Institute, University / Higher Education Institution | University of Zurich & University Hospital Zurich | 2021 | Ongoing | Open Access, Open Access Journals, “Open Access Cost (subscriptions, transformative agreements, and publisher payments(APC))” | UZH’s institutional repository (ZORA) metadata; Unpaywall for external OA status | Data from ZORA (which contains nearly all UZH publications) is analyzed for OA availability. The monitor (CC BY 4.0 licensed) displays interactive graphs and allows filtering by year or faculty. It also provides a license breakdown (via an API called Papago) and other details. | The UZH monitor has improved awareness within the university, showing steady increases in OA rates and helping target initiatives (e.g., repository deposits or fund support) to reach 100% OA. | UZH’s open science policy goals are tracked (it likely has internal targets for OA percentage). The monitor thus checks compliance with those institutional goals. | ||
| Charité Dashboard on Responsible Research | https://quest-dashboard.charite.de/#tabStart | Tereza Szybisty, Maja Hoić, Evgeny Bobrov | The Charité Metrics Dashboard on Responsible Research is an institutional open science dashboard covering Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Developed by the BIH QUEST Center, it provides an overview of various “responsible research” metrics at Charité. These include the percentage of publications in open access, the sharing of research data and code in publications, clinical trial registration and results reporting, and other indicators of research transparency and rigor. The dashboard supports Charité’s goal to conduct and incentivize responsible, reproducible research. | Institutional | Europe | Germany | Research Organization / Institute | BIH QUEST Center, Charité – Berlin Institute of Health | 2022 | Ongoing | Open Access, Open Research Data, Open Research Software / Code, Results reporting for clinical trials, “Transparency (founding statements, limitations, Conflict of interests etc.)”, ORCID ID | Internal data (publication database), trial registries (e.g., DRKS/ClinicalTrials.gov), repository links (Zenodo/GitHub), article full texts, OpenAlex; Crossref | The dashboard is interactive and updated regularly. It compiles data from Charité’s systems and external sources to calculate metrics like: % of Charité articles open access, % with an open dataset, % with open code, number of registered clinical trials vs published, etc.. It visualizes progress over time and across departments. | This dashboard is used by Charité’s leadership to identify areas for improvement (e.g., if data sharing is low in certain institutes) and to demonstrate Charité’s advances in open science to funders and the public. It has already shown positive trends, thereby reinforcing policies like open access publishing funds and data sharing support. | Partially – it monitors compliance with Charité’s own open access policy, as well as regulations regrding clinical trials (WHO joint statement, declaration of Helsinki, and the European Clinical Trial Regulation (formerly the Clinical Trial Directive)). | ||
| Charité Open Access Dashboard | https://medbib-charite.github.io/oa-dashboard/ | Tereza Szybisty, Marcel Wrzesinski | A specialized Open Access Dashboard created by the Charité Medical Library to track open access publications by Charité researchers (covering 2017–2023). It provides detailed stats on the number and proportion of publications that are OA, types of open access (gold vs. green), and trends over time. The dashboard helps Charité gauge the success of its open access support measures and identify where outreach or assistance is needed to increase open access publishing. | Institutional | Europe | Germany | Research Organization / Institute | Charité Medical Library (Berlin) | 2021 | Ongoing | Open Access, Open Access Journals | Web of Science/Embase records for Charité publications; Unpaywall for OA status; OpenAPC data for the cost information. | The dashboard (a static GitHub Pages site) includes interactive graphs and an “About” section explaining data sources. It uses library-maintained publication lists and cross-references them with Unpaywall to determine OA availability. Data is updated periodically by library staff. | It has raised awareness among Charité faculty of the importance of repository deposits and choosing open venues. Over the tracked period, Charité’s OA percentage has grown, partly visible due to this transparency tool. | Indirectly – monitors adherence to Charité’s OA policies and agreements. Since Charité researchers are encouraged (and funded) to publish OA, the dashboard shows if those efforts meet targets. | ||
| Open Science Dashboard (Earth Sciences, FU Berlin) | https://quest-open-earthsciences.charite.de/#tabOA | Tereza Szybisty | An open science dashboard for the Department of Earth Sciences at Freie Universität Berlin, developed by the BIH QUEST Center. It presents department-specific metrics on open access publications, open research data, and other open science practices. For example, it tracks what portion of Earth Sciences publications are OA, whether data underlying those publications are available, etc. This targeted dashboard (2016–2023 data) helps a single department monitor and promote open science locally, serving as a pilot for departmental-level metrics. | Institutional | Europe | Germany | Research Organization / Institute | BIH QUEST Center; FU Berlin Dept. of Earth Sciences | 2021 | Ongoing | Open Access, Open Access Journals | Department’s publication list (from FU repository); Data repositories (PANGAEA etc.) for links; OpenAIRE/Unpaywall for status | The dashboard is similar to Charité’s but scoped to one department. It includes an indicator for open data (particularly important in Earth sciences). It was implemented with community input and open-source code (MIT for code, CC-BY-4.0 for data). | This granularity allows the department to identify champions and laggards in open science. It also provides evidence when applying for funding or awards (e.g., demonstrating improvement in open practices). | Not a compliance tool per se, but having these metrics likely encourages compliance with funding requirements (many Earth science grants expect data sharing, etc.). | ||

It presents metrics like datasets published per year, how many have open licenses (CC-BY etc.), and which centers or disciplines are leading. It also likely tracks publications with datasets (to measure how data sharing correlates with publications). | It’s used by Helmholtz management to measure success of HMC’s efforts. By identifying gaps (centers not publishing much data, or lacking metadata quality), resources can be directed appropriately. It also demonstrates Helmholtz’s contributions to open science nationally. | Indirectly – monitors adherence to Helmholtz’s open data policy. If certain centers are not contributing, it becomes apparent. It also aligns with national metrics since Helmholtz must report on openness. | ||

| Mapa de Iniciativas Nacionales en Ciencia Abierta en América Latina y España | https://recursos.lareferencia.info/recomendacion-unesco/ | Federico Cetrangolo | This initiative provides a regional mapping of policies, infrastructures, and initiatives related to the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science across Latin America and Spain. Developed by LA Referencia, the platform aims to support the monitoring of open science developments in the region, facilitate knowledge sharing among countries, and provide policymakers and stakeholders with a structured overview of national efforts to advance open science. | Continental / Cross-national regional | Latin America & Caribbean, Europe | Not applicable | Government Ministry / Agency, Nonprofit Organization | LA Referencia | 2025 | Ongoing | Open Science Policies | The initiative uses qualitative and structured policy information compiled from official national sources, including government policy documents, institutional strategies, national open science initiatives, and information provided by LA Referencia member institutions and national nodes. The dataset is curated through regional coordination and validation processes and reflects publicly available information on open science policies, infrastructures, and initiatives across Latin America and Spain. | The initiative uses a structured qualitative monitoring approach based on the systematic collection and organization of information about national open science initiatives. Data are compiled through regional coordination with LA Referencia member institutions and national nodes, drawing on official policy documents, institutional sources, and publicly available information. The platform organizes this information into a comparative regional dashboard that allows users to explore the development of open science policies, infrastructures, and initiatives across countries and thematic areas. | The monitoring results are intended to support policymakers, research institutions, and regional stakeholders in understanding the development of open science across Latin America and Spain. The dashboard provides a structured overview of national initiatives related to the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, helping to identify progress, gaps, and opportunities for collaboration. The results also facilitate regional policy dialogue, knowledge sharing, and coordination among countries working to advance open science. | The initiative does not have a formal enforcement or compliance mechanism linked to its results. The dashboard is designed as an informational and coordination tool to support the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science across the region. Its results are primarily used to inform policy dialogue, regional cooperation, and knowledge sharing among national institutions and policymakers, rather than to impose compliance requirements or sanctions. | This initiative is part of an ongoing continuous improvement process and requires significant effort to keep the information updated. At present, the mapping is more complete for countries that are members of LA Referencia, as the initiative relies heavily on collaboration with national nodes and key informants. The dataset depends largely on primary information provided by these institutions and, as a result, the level of detail and the criteria used for classification may not always be fully homogeneous across countries. Efforts are ongoing to improve consistency and expand coverage over time. | |
| TSOSI | tsosi.org | Maxence Larrieu | TSOSI (Transparency to sustain open science infrastructure) is a recent web platform launched in June 2025. It is designed to make visible which organizations financially support which open infrastructure. TSOSI started with data from five essential infrastructures: DOAJ, DOAB, SciPost, PeerCommunityIn, and OPERAS. The web platform tsosi.org allows everyone to see who has contributed to what. Since its launch, TSOSI has continuously integrated data from infrastructures, institutions, and consortia. Along the way, TSOSI is building the open science funding graph, which links organizations, consortia, institutions, and funders to open infrastructures. TSOSI aims to facilitate the transition to a place where supporting open infrastructures becomes the norm. | International | Global | Not applicable | Government Ministry / Agency, University / Higher Education Institution | Université Grenoble Alpes | 2025 | Ongoing | Open Infrastructure & Tools, Funding | TSOSI collects data that describe financial support.

| Measuring Open Science in Transportation | https://www.rerite.org/MOST/ | Junyi Ji | Our project utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically analyze and measure the adoption of open science practices across transportation research papers at scale. Our analysis found that only 5% of quantitative papers shared a code repository, 4% of quantitative papers shared a data repository, and about 3% of papers shared both, with trends differing across journals, topics, and geographic regions. We found no significant difference in citation counts or review duration between papers that provided data and code and those that did not, suggesting a misalignment between open science efforts and traditional academic metrics. It is the first and largest open science monitoring initiative ever launched in transportation, a field with some of the greatest potential for social good. | International | Global | Not applicable | Community-led | REproducible Research In Transportation Engineering (RERITE)) | 2024 | Ongoing | Open Access, Open Research Data, Open Research Software / Code | Full-text publication data | LLM-based feature extraction | Mining existing resources in literature and fostering open science in transportation | No information found | ||

| Open Science Roadmap (Canada) | https://science.gc.ca/site/science/en/office-chief-science-advisor/open-science/roadmap-open-science | Jacquelyn Cragg | Canada’s Open Science Roadmap represents the country’s most comprehensive and authoritative national framework for advancing (and importantly, measuring) open science. Developed by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor, the Roadmap explicitly embeds monitoring through the use of indicators, reporting mechanisms, and accountability across federal science-based departments. While Canada lacks a single centralized monitoring dashboard, the Roadmap provides the conceptual and policy backbone that structures how open science progress is tracked, including commitments to open access, FAIR data, and transparency across the research lifecycle. Including it is therefore essential not only to capture Canada’s approach, but also to highlight a distinct model of distributed, policy-driven monitoring, where evaluation is integrated into governance and funding systems rather than consolidated in a standalone observatory. | National | North America | Canada | Government Ministry / Agency | Government of Canada | 2020 | 2020 | Ongoing | Open Research Data, Open Access, Open Infrastructure & Tools, FAIR Data / FAIR Principles, Societal Impact, Public Engagement | Canada’s Open Science Roadmap relies on a decentralized, federated approach to monitoring, drawing on multiple data types and sources rather than a single unified system. Monitoring is primarily conducted through departmental reporting and performance indicators, where federal science-based departments track outputs such as open access publications, data releases, and policy compliance within their Open Science Action Plans. These are complemented by administrative and internal government data systems, as well as outputs captured in open repositories and platforms like the Open Science and Data Platform and the Government of Canada’s open data portal. Additional inputs include bibliometric data to assess open access uptake, metrics aligned with FAIR data principles, and program-level compliance reporting tied to federal directives and open government commitments. While some public engagement and usage metrics (e.g., downloads, access) are also considered, they are not yet standardized, resulting in a monitoring system that is embedded within governance and operations but fragmented and lacking a centralized, harmonized dashboard. | In Canada’s Open Science Roadmap, the monitoring mechanism is best characterized as a distributed, governance-embedded approach, rather than a centralized monitoring system. Progress is tracked through departmental Open Science Action Plans, where each federal science-based department defines indicators, implements commitments, and reports on outcomes aligned with the “open by default” principle. Monitoring is operationalized via existing government accountability structures, including internal reporting, performance measurement frameworks, and Open Government commitments, rather than through a standalone observatory or dashboard. This is complemented by iterative, policy-driven oversight, where progress is reviewed, refined, and advanced over time through interdepartmental coordination and leadership from the Office of the Chief Science Advisor. Overall, the approach emphasizes integration into routine governance and continuous improvement, rather than real-time, centralized monitoring. | In Canada’s Open Science Roadmap, the intended use of monitoring results is to support accountability, guide policy implementation, and enable continuous improvement of open science practices across federal departments. Monitoring is used to assess progress toward the “open by default” commitment, identify gaps or inconsistencies in implementation, and inform iterative refinement of policies, infrastructure, and practices. It also serves to demonstrate transparency to the public, align departmental activities with broader Open Government commitments, and support evidence-informed decision-making within government. Rather than producing rankings or external benchmarking, the emphasis is on using monitoring internally to drive cultural change, improve coordination, and strengthen the effectiveness and impact of open science across the federal research system. | In Canada’s Open Science Roadmap, there is no strong, formalized linkage between monitoring results and direct consequences such as sanctions, funding penalties, or strict compliance enforcement. Instead, the approach is primarily policy- and accountability-driven, where monitoring results feed into departmental reporting, performance management, and Open Government commitments. There are implicit connections to evaluation processes (particularly through departmental performance frameworks and Treasury Board oversight) and, in some cases, alignment with funder expectations (e.g., Tri-Agency policies), but these are not tightly coupled to a unified enforcement mechanism within the Roadmap itself. Rather than imposing explicit incentives or penalties, the system relies on soft governance mechanisms, including transparency, public accountability, and internal review, to encourage compliance and progress. In short, monitoring informs decision-making and policy refinement, but does not directly trigger formal consequences in a standardized or centralized way. | |
