Unlocking the Insights from the PathOS Case Studies & PathOS Toolkit

The PathOS project has completed 6 case studies that model Open Science pathways, measuring input indicators, costs, and outcomes. These case studies have tested and operationalised Open Science indicators, providing valuable data and expert insights from various local environments. They have also contributed to the Cost-Benefit Analysis and validated key results. Each case study tells a complete story, covering different objectives, implementation mechanisms, and actors across the research and innovation ecosystem.

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).

PathOS Toolkit

The PathOS Toolkit is a curated collection of datasets, tools, and methodologies developed within the PathOS project to support the measurement and operationalization of Open Science indicators. The toolkit provides reusable scripts, workflows, and documentation to facilitate case study analysis, indicator computation, and data processing.

What’s Inside

The toolkit brings together everything needed to explore how Open Science practices, like data sharing, open access, and software reuse, translate into academic, economic and societal impact.

  • Reusable code and analysis scripts for reproducible Open Science studies

  • Case study templates to guide new investigations

  • Shared methodologies for robust, comparable impact assessments

  • Documentation and examples for transparent workflows

PathOS Toolkit is openly available on GitHub
