Tracking the Impact of Open Science: Are We Measuring What Matters?

This panel brings together experts to explore how we assess the real-world effects of Open Science. What metrics reflect meaningful change? How can we monitor progress without losing sight of equity and inclusivity? Join us for a lively discussion on tools, frameworks, and lessons shaping the future of Open Science impact and monitoring.

This invited panel will be a forum to discuss the current landscape of Impact and Monitoring of Open Science. After a short introduction of the panellists and their involvement in open science, we hope to create a dynamic and engaging session around the following questions:

  • How can we effectively measure the impact of Open Science on research practices and outcomes?
  • What tools and metrics are needed to monitor the progress of Open Science initiatives at national, regional, and global levels?
  • How do we ensure that the monitoring frameworks align with the core values of openness, equity, and inclusivity?
  • What lessons can we learn from past and current Open Science implementations to improve future monitoring efforts?
