GRIOS aims to advance Open Science by synthesizing existing evidence to guide policies, identify barriers to adoption and highlight knowledge gaps. The poster will present GRIOS and share results from its first study assessing the coverage of Open Science topics in the scientific literature.
Paper Abstract
GRIOS, the Global Research Initiative on Open Science, is dedicated to deepening our understanding of Open Science practices and fostering their widespread adoption among governments, funding agencies and research institutions.
Emerging from G7 work on Research on Research and Open Science, and inspired by the IPCC's role in synthesizing climate science for policymakers, GRIOS will employ evidence synthesis methods to assess the benefits and limitations of Open Science practices.
GRIOS will aim to identify the obstacles causing uneven uptake of Open Science policies across countries and organisations. By addressing these challenges, the initiative aims to support funders, institutions and policymakers in refining their strategies and maximizing the impact of Open Science policies.
GRIOS will also aim to identify critical knowledge gaps and federate the global research-on-Open Science communities around a common research agenda.
The first study commissioned by GRIOS aims to better understand the Open Science research landscape. It has developed a methodology to measure research on the topic using an open data source, namely OpenAlex. Based on a set of specific keywords and journals across four languages (English, French, Portuguese and Spanish), the analysis provides an overview of the main Open Science topics studied, the countries that are active, the study design used, the disciplines in which those papers are published, and the open access availability of papers. The study also presents challenges in using open data sources for the measurement of science, such as the heterogeneous data quality across document types, languages, and publishers.
