Section outline

  • Learning Objectives  

    By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

      • Use the PathOS indicator handbook to gather indicators relevant to one’s own case. 
      • Assess to what extent particular indicators can be interpreted causally and state limitations of that. 

    Training Topic  

    The Open Science Indicator Handbook explores various indicators measuring Open Science's academic, societal, and economic impacts and reproducibility. Taking a causal perspective, the project distinguishes between the impact itself and the effect of Open Science on impact, aiming to understand the difference Open Science principles make compared to closed principles. Recognizing the complexity of causal inference, the handbook includes guidance on operationalizing indicators for Open Science studies, addressing challenges in causal inference and a wide range of impacts and factors involved. It includes both established indicators, like citation impact, as well as emerging and indicators that are actively developed, such as data usage and reproducibility. The handbook aims to be a continuously evolving, community-contributed resource.
