PathOS at the SCIROS Workshop on Open Science Infrastructures
PathOS’s Methodological Framework for CBA in Open Science
As part of the PathOS project, CSIL developed a methodological framework for conducting Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) adapted to the unique realities of Open Science. This framework takes into account the specific economic, social, and scientific dimensions of Open Research Infrastructures, ensuring a tailored and comprehensive evaluation. The approach has been tested on RCAAP as well as on UniProt, demonstrating its applicability across diverse type of open resources. Louis Colnot’s presentation at the SCIROS workshop provided an in-depth look into how the CBA methodology can be used to measure the impacts of open science, reinforcing the importance of evidence-based policy-making in the Open Science ecosystem.
Disseminating PathOS Results and Paving the Way for Future Analyses
The workshop was an opportunity to introduce the results of the PathOS project to a new audience, sparking discussions on the effectiveness of Open Research Infrastructures and the importance of robust evaluation frameworks like those developed in PathOS. This intervention aligns with PathOS’s broader mission to assess the socio-economic impact of Open Science practices and inform policy recommendations for sustaining Open Research infrastructures.
