BUA Open Science Dashboards – Development of indicators and screening tools for prototypic implementation

Freie Universität Berlin, Open-Access-Büro Berlin, project co-lead Dr. Maxi Kindling, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, QUEST-Center, project co-lead Dr. Evgeny Bobrov. Project team: Maaike Duine, Freie Universität Berlin, Anastasiia Iarkaeva, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, QUEST-Center, Duration: 01/2024-10/2026. (Continuation of the project BUA Open Science Dashboards – Development of Indicators and Screening Tools for prototypic Implementation)

The project collects key figures and individual positive examples of Open Science practices from various research areas of the BUA institutions. Building on experiences from the previous project "BUA Open Science Dashboards", the implementation project aims to develop monitoring and indicators for different communities and to visualize them in dashboards. In addition, positive examples should be visualized and disseminated, e.g. in the form of a network graph of citizen science projects. The specific knowledge about the various research communities is generated from the cooperation with the Berlin Science Survey, the results of which are also presented interactively in the form of a dashboard. The project should enable discipline-sensitive monitoring in the BUA area and develop into an internationally visible example of the implementation and usefulness of open science monitoring.

Preceding project: BUA Open Science Dashboards - Development of Indicators and Screening Tools for prototypic implementation (Duration: 10/2021-12/2023)

The more open science practices become established, the more important systematic monitoring becomes. However, there are no established indicators that serve as criteria for such monitoring. The project builds on the expertise of Charité in the biomedical open science area and develops indicators for selected further disciplines as well as tools for the (semi-) automated collection of key figures. These indicators are developed in pilot projects together with scientific communities and later made available as dashboard prototypes. At the same time, the aim is to expand the existing, currently internal Charité dashboard to include indicators of the reusability of research data ('FAIR data').
