#OSMonitoring2025
What an inspiring two days at #OSMonitoring2025!

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Paris & online to reflect, share & shape the future of #OpenScience.

We’re grateful to #UNESCO for hosting, and to all our partners for making it happen.

With love from the #PathOS team 💙

@ismaelrafols.bsky.social I really appreciate this framing. It's much more compelling than just counting how many objects are open. It's more powerful, too, in terms of understanding gaps/communities who are impacted.

@ismaelrafols.bsky.social we're seeing a change in how we understand #OPenScience to move beyond just access to outputs. It has to be about open CONNECTIONS leading to new outcomes. Monitoring outputs is important but narratives around connections/processes will be vital.

@unesco.org supporting new #OpenScience journal with Chinese Academy of Sciences? YES, according to Jinxia Huang. Journal aims to support #OpenScience recs implementation and policy. We hope to engage with the OS community re: editorial roles. #OSMonitoring2025

@ismaelrafols.bsky.social we don't have ready made solutions for this new kind of assessment. SR note: it's highly qualitiative and resource intensive. What is our commitment to level of work?

@ismaelrafols.bsky.social we need non-traditional ways of monitoring like the #useCases proposed by #PathOS. #DEI issues relate to collaboration/processes -- not recorded/captured in #OpenScience outputs. It's the HOW where equity erodes."

@ismaelrafols.bsky.social "In every model of #science we need to rethink HOW we do it. Good ex. is @oecd-ocde.bsky.social, who have iterated as they assessed HOW they worked. If #OpenScience is a diff way of thinking about science, then we need different ways of assessing"

#AnaPersic, ?s of inequity need evidence/data to underscore the cost of inequity. The case of what diseases are studied in terms of global populations is a good example (see #Metascience2025 findings). How could #equity evaluation shape where we shift $$ for research?

#OSMonitoring2025

@ismaelrafols.bsky.social Where there has been support for #DiamondOA ie #Norway #LATAM. Equity in terms of access is a huge discussion. In the research context, huge barriers in terms of studying gender/minorities. #ClinicalTrials #ResearchAssessment reform is key as well.

@ismaelrafols.bsky.social " #DEI is not a silver bullet. Means diff things in diff contexts and need to be developed appropriately. #OpenAccess ? - when we call #GoldOA, should this be considered #OpenScience?" This is an important question.

🌐 @redalyc.bsky.social #UAEMex joined @unesco.org, @openaire.bsky.social, @pathos-project.bsky.social,
& partners at #OpenScience: Monitoring progress, assessing impact.

@ariannabec.bsky.social underscored inclusive, ethical OS monitoring & #OpenAccess as a #HumanRights matter.

#OpenScience is NOT about access to JUST the outcomes of science but also the process. What has changed institutionally so you can actually have the culture of OS in place deeply embedded in process/practice.

Developing OS readiness index and checking. According to the index, China is ranked 3rd in OS readiness. Since 2022 China has been hosting OS fora. In 2024, w/ African lead, aims to promote global scientific collaboration. (SR: China continuing to drive 🌎 collaboration/innovation)

Jinxia Huang, #OpenScience lead at CAS, #China actions on #OpenScience
National funders National Science Library of CAS - is collecting OS practice across the countries -- mapped to 7 action ares in @unesco.org Recs. Minister of S&T has launched an action plan. #OSMonitoring2025

Ahmed Mohammed Alabdulkader, KACST, #SaudiArabia aims to be a global leader in #OpenScience by actively implementing the @unesco.org 2021 recommendation. KAIST leading this work. Established dedicated SME working group tasked to identify monitoring approaches for SA.

Similar to #Metascience2025, GlobalSouth/Non-EU participants continue to push @unesco.org @openaire.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu on the impact of these #OpenScience monitoring beyond their borders. Reps insist this is a "EU-focused" while also speaking to 🌎 influence. Need to address! #OSMonitoring2025
July 8, 2025 at 9:04 AM
SR: Why do proponents of #DEI in privileged countries ALWAYS bristle when asked about how their work could have unintended consq for marginalized communities? Reminding them of the insidious nature of how power is built into STRUCTURES seems to trigger. #GlobalNorthPrivilege #OSMonitoring2025
July 8, 2025 at 8:57 AM
How is @eosc-beyond.bsky.social going to integrate the #PathOS principles announced yesterday? Will you report on that publicly?

We believe we almost completely align with the new principles. (SR: There seems to be pushback against whether they should audit themselves.)

#OSmonitoring2025
July 8, 2025 at 8:50 AM
Tony Ross-Hellauer, How is @eosc-beyond.bsky.social diff from general #OpenScience monitoring? Does it directly overlap wi/ #PathOS? I thought its as about uptake/reuse of FAIR outputs. Can you clarify? EOSC doesn't reflect many POVs re: #OpenScience -clear on its reach/remit. #OSMonitoring2025
July 8, 2025 at 8:48 AM
@ariannabec.bsky.social How is #openscience monitoring looking at #DiamondOpenAccess contributions. 20% authors of LATAM #OpenAccess pubs (non-commercial publishers) are European authors. They are subsidizing EU authors. Will #OpenScience monitoring reflect this?

#OSMonitoring2025
July 8, 2025 at 8:44 AM
"From my POV #preprints is not a 'real publication' bc it's not reviewed. Are those included in @openaire.bsky.social #OpenScience defs of #OpenAccess" #OSMonitoring2025 questioner. Eric Jeangirard: framework allows you to transparency include/exclude any objects depending on your own criteria.
July 8, 2025 at 8:42 AM
@openaire.bsky.social has been juggling #OpenAccess defs. Are licenses a key component of this definition? Legal has said that sans CCBY, text-mining/LLMs etc cannot access. OpenAire is going pub by pub to determine licenses and how pub is limited. #NoLicenseMeansNoAccess #OSMonitoring2025
July 8, 2025 at 8:41 AM
Appreciate Natalia @openaire.bsky.social pushing the issue of action: What ACTION is #openScience monitoring enabling?

#AnaPersic, @unesco.org, this work is largely re: sharing best practice/benefits. Not about rankings/policing. The process is as important as the actual outcomes. #OSMonitoring2025
July 8, 2025 at 8:29 AM
Where is compliance/policing in #OpenScience work? What ELSE are we doing to go beyond #s? What do we need for capacity building? How do we engage w/ more stakeholders? (SR: this is my ? - who specifically are "stakeholders" they are referencing?)

#OSMonitoring2025
July 8, 2025 at 8:24 AM
What does #equity in #OpenScience mean? (great ? from Natalia @openaire.bsky.social). How is that diff from equity in science generally? Ana Persic, these are the same thing for @unesco.org.

How do we making monitoring meaningful? #BeyondNumbers Are we just policing?
