OA.Report helps funders measure and increase OA policy compliance and their investment’s impact

"OA.Report is an open-source tool that identifies research outputs organizations have supported, analyzes their openness (including OA policy compliance), and then streamlines taking action to make results more open. We’ve built OA.Report in partnership with the Gates Foundation and are thrilled it’s now also in use at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s, and Templeton World Charity Foundation, which also financially support the project.... In 2020 we started to build OA.Report with the goal of helping organizations discover, analyze, and unlock papers covered by OA policies. In 2022, it was terrific to see our users start realizing their goals with our support. We were proud to share some of their stories during Open Access Week.... As we’ve collaborated with users, our work has expanded to include helping organizations analyze and increase their research output, OA policy compliance, and impact. Some results we’re particularly proud of include the following: Significantly improving article tracking: The Gates Foundation discovered 40% more foundation-supported articles than they’d previously tracked. Others have also uncovered a significant number of previously untracked articles. Providing greater insight into publishing and impact metrics: Building on systems we built to measure OA policy compliance, we are able to provide funders with insight into a range of questions, such as what types of OA journals their authors are using, how many citations their funded work has, and which other funders are supporting the same work they are...."
