Release of the Open Science Monitoring Initiative website and worldwide consultation for the Principles of Open Science Monitoring

The French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, Université de Lorraine and Inria launched in April 2024 the  website of the Open Science Monitoring Initiative, dedicated to encourage the adoption of open science monitoring principles and to promote their practical implementation. Many initiatives and guidelines already exist in the field of open science monitoring, whether it be with a national or international scope. However, there is yet no common understanding nor framework of open science monitoring. This is necessary to reach a global agreement on a set of Principles that could set a guide for present and future initiatives about Open Science Monitoring.
