OpenScientoMètre

The Openscientometer is a serious, fun game that lets you discover a little more about Open Science - a movement that aims to make the design, production, dissemination and evaluation of scientific research more transparent, ethical and collaborative.

With the help of a few figures, the Openscientometer offers a perspective on the state of Open Science and its challenges.

For whom?

• Are you unfamiliar with the concepts of Open Data, bibliodiversity or Diamond Open Access?
• Do the acronyms DOAJ, APC, CC-BY, DORA or FAIR mean little to you?

Then the Openscientometer is for you.

More generally, the Openscientometer is also suitable for anyone wanting to know a little more about Open Science, its principles, foundations and challenges.
