Abstract:

[Objective] As open science policies and practices continue to advance, the open science monitoring system, serving as a feedback mechanism, occupies a significant position within the Open Science governance system. [Methods] This article uses leading models, monitoring indicators, and monitoring implementation as an analytical framework. By means of methods such as online surveys and literature search, the status of European Commission Open Science Monitor, OpenAIRE Monitor, and the Public Library of Science (PLOS) Open Science Indicators are systematically analyzed. [Results] Due to difference in leading models, the intrinsic logic and resources that support the monitoring systems vary considerably. The monitoring indicators and implementation of the different monitoring systems are distinctive, but all pay close attention to the implementation of open access policies and the FAIR principles. The analyzed results of different monitoring systems reflect the attainment of open science objectives in various levels and degrees. [Conclusions] It is recommended that we should learn lessons from the practices of foreign Open Science monitor systems, coordinate open science policies comprehensively, utilize foundational platform construction as a leverage point, and accelerate the construction of a multi-level open science monitoring system and international cooperation, thereby contributing Chinese solutions to the practice of open science.
