Case studies
to drive our activities

PathOS will centre its activities around 6 targeted case studies that will (a) drive the modelling of the pathways with all relevant elements of Open Science which can be measured both in terms of indicators for input and costs, and by making their connections, (b) support testing and operationalization of Open Science indicators (tools, data, flows) by providing access to data and experts who bring knowledge of the local environment, and (c) provide input to the Cost Benefit Analysis and to validate results.

Case studies in a nutshell

The case studies have been selected to present an end-to-end story from input-outputs–outcomes-impacts, covering different objectives (the why), different implementations mechanisms (the how), different actors in the R&I ecosystem (the who).

Accelerating collaborations within academia & industry

Portugal, Repository Network, Industry-academia

This case study focuses on the use of the Portuguese publication repository infrastructure for OS and address the knowledge diffusion via collaborations and the visibility of individual research institutions, and collaboration. It will address th...

Research data and knowledge / use in non-academia

France, Societal uptake

This case study focuses on the use of French infrastructure for OS and address the research data and knowledge use in the larger social circles and the societal impact, including motivations of use. Using a quantitative methodology, PathOS will m...

Cross cutting effects due to Open Research data from National Repository

National Repository, SSH

This case study investigates the effect of data availability. Is the data used by other scientists for other studies? Do other scientists make more use of publications for which data has been made available? We analyse these effects in the context...

Open Science Practices during the COVID-19 pandemic

This case study investigates OS practices and quantifies the OS contributions in addressing COVID-19 issues by developing and testing a set of tools that analyze and measure OS outcomes and impacts, thus, providing concrete evidence how the materi...

Emerging Topics Fostered by Open Science

H2020, Gender, Climate change

This case study sets out to understand the role of Open Science in the emergence of new research topics, especially within the domains of AI, Gender and Climate Change. By championing transparency and inclusivity, Open Science potentially p...

Innovation from open Research resources

Life Sciences, Bioinformatics

This case study is specific to the life sciences domain and focuses on the use by industry of open bioinformatics resources made available through ELIXIR. These range from databases (e.g., molecular data, scientific literature), tools (e.g., softw...
