The French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR) is providing interested organisations with a version of the French open science barometer, adjusted for their own scientific publications. BRGM has published the main results of its open science barometer for 2021.
This approach is part of BRGM's general open science policy, adopted in late 2022.
The French open science barometer adapted for public institutions
The open science barometer is a set of indicators put in place by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR) in late 2022 to establish the proportion of scientific publications with open access at national level.
The MESR has given volunteer participating organisations the opportunity to try out the tool, with each one having free access to the results of its own barometer, based on data from its scientific publications. The aim is to measure and compare the development of open science practices in France, using reliable, open data based on a shared methodology.
BRGM has decided to use this new tool for the first time and is publishing the main results of its open science barometer for 2021.
