The open science monitor 2024

Established in 2019 by the ministry of Higher Education and Research, the French Open Science Monitor (OSB) tracks the Open Access rate of research publications produced by researchers working in French universities or research centres. A specific tool enables each university to adapt it to its own data.

As part of its policy in favour of Open Science, Jean Monnet University adopted this indicator in 2023, enabling the observation of publications with at least one author affiliated with UJM. The initial starting year for this observation was chosen to be 2020.

The previous edition of UJM's OSB presented a selection of graphs only for publications with a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) published in 2020 and 2021. This year, we have decided to present the same selection of graphs but for publications with either a DOI or a HAL identifier. This results in a decrease in Open Access rates due to the large number of HAL records for publications that are not in Open Access. Additionally, since displaying publications associated only with a HAL identifier is a recent feature of the BSO, we decided to start the observation in 2022 (publication year 2021) to avoid comparing different corpora before and after the first observation year with HAL identifiers.

Data submitted to the ministry to generate the graphs are updated at each edition. All queries to retrieve DOIs are re-run for all resources and all years since 2020, incrementing by one year each time. The HAL-UJM collection is directly queried each year by the Ministry.

The resources used to obtain these data are Lens, Sci-Finder, HAL-UJM, and OpenAlex starting from the 2024 edition. Thesis are retrieved using the LYSES and STET thesis number codes.

OpenAlex relies on major identifiers to determine the affiliations of publications: ROR (an international database of persistent identifiers for research organizations) and ORCID (an international registry of persistent identifiers for authors), for which the accuracy and completeness of the data will help us in the future to produce a OSB of increasing quality and, above all, provide better visibility and readability of UJM's publications.

A few indicators are presented below. You can take a closer look at the Open Science situation at the UJM in the form of graphs on this page, using the following institution identifier: 194210951
