The objective of this working group is to better understand the needs of open science (OS) monitoring as the basis for the future work of the OS monitoring community. The working group will:
- Map the key stakeholders and beneficiaries to better understand who is impacted by OS and how, and who benefits from it at the international, national, and local levels.
- Explore the scope of OS monitoring and define what should be monitored and why.
- Identify areas that require quantitative and/or qualitative methods to serve the needs of OS monitoring effectively.
The working group will collaborate closely with the working group on “Understanding the OS Monitoring Landscape”. By aligning the efforts of both groups, a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of OS monitoring can be achieved, facilitating more informed decision-making and planning for the future of OS monitoring.
