Open Science Monitor – Publications

To track progress in opening up its publications, the University of Grenoble Alpes is publishing its open science monitor for the sixth consecutive year.
The indicators are not limited to scientific publications but also cover data, codes and software, and doctoral theses.

This monitor, derived from the French Open Science Monitor (BSO), published since 2019 by french Minister of Higher Education and Research, initially made it possible to measure the evolution of open access to French publications. In January 2022, the national monitor evolved to offer local versions for institutions and laboratories. From 2023 onwards, other indicators have been proposed, relating to two research products included in the National Plan for Open Science: research data, codes and software on the one hand, and doctoral theses on the other.

The data sources used to compile the list of publications are Web of Science, HAL, PubMed and Lens.org within the scope of the University of Grenoble Alpes.
The data was collected during spring 2025 and covers publications released between 2016 and 2024.

As there are currently no reference databases for the data, codes and software produced by researchers, the methodology used to produce these indicators is based on text mining from publications for which the full text could be downloaded as part of the barometer.
