EOSCpilot Open Science Monitor specifications: Towards a dynamic and open European Open Science Monitor : OpenAIRE blog

The EOSCpilot is the first project towards the realisation of the EC’s vision for a common and trusted environment for practicing Open Science. Part of the project’s activities is a Policy Work Package aiming to develop an EOSC tailored Policy Framework complemented by a number of services to support this venture. Such Policy Framework will facilitate operational and strategic priorities set by the EOSC in the areas of Open Science and Open Scholarship, Procurement, Ethics and Data Protection for infrastructures, services, data and skills, i.e. the primary components that the EOSC will be comprised of. Besides adoption guidelines and implementation check-lists preparation, the Policy Work Package assists monitoring of Open Science in the European area both with policy recommendations concerning, among others, the use of metrics and data collection in the EOSC, as well as with delivering the specifications for a monitoring mechanism intended for use by funding bodies, research performing organisations, research infrastructures as well as researchers themselves.
