COSMI Hub: A Community Dashboard to Map and Monitor Open Science Initiatives

Poster for STI ENID 2025 poster session. Abstract:The rapid emergence of open science (OS) policies and transparency mandates has created a growing need forrobust monitoring tools capable of capturing the diversity and dynamics of OS initiatives. Here, we present aninteractive community dashboard developed using R Shiny, designed to map and classify global OS initiativesbased on data from ASAPbio’s prototype directory. Leveraging Multiple Correspondence Analysis andHierarchical Clustering on Principal Components, the dashboard organizes initiatives according to dimensionssuch as governance models, open source availability, and geographical distribution. This dynamic andcustomizable tool enables stakeholders to explore the evolving landscape of OS and to identify patterns and gapsacross initiatives. Facilitating both expert oversight and community-driven contributions, the dashboard lays thegroundwork for a scalable and inclusive observatory of OS practices. Our approach offers a novel framework fortracking the implementation and transformation of OS on a global scale.
