"The assessment of research activities is a key step in the decision-making process for every organisation investing in such activities; whether it is a funder evaluating the proper allocation of grants to maximise societal impact, an institution looking to find hidden potential and room-for-improvement areas, or a research initiative considering expanding its network, to name a few examples. The reliable and timely monitoring and evaluation of research activities are indispensable for the efficient allocation of resources and the overall decision-making process. 

The OpenAIRE MONITOR is an on-demand service built upon the OpenAIRE Research Graph with the mission to fulfill these needs. It offers tailor-made data and visualisation monitoring dashboards for funders, institutions and research initiatives, populated with well-documented metrics and indicators of research activities. To meet the requirements of each individual organisation, a default dashboard is improved upon in one-on-one co-designing sessions, that include the validation of data shown and the creation of new indicators, if needed.

After the launch of the Institutional Dashboard of OpenAIRE MONITOR, in May 2022, and working closely with the community, we focused our efforts on upgrading the service in three areas: (i) updating the user interface, (ii) improving the documentation of methodology and indicators (the new Resources tab), and (iii) redesigning all MONITOR dashboards with new indicators and visualisations. ..."
