Open Science Monitor
National indicators of open access and open science in Spain.
What is the Open Science Monitor?
The Monitor is the space where the research community, institutions, and citizens can consult how open science is progressing in Spain: percentage of open-access publications, publication routes (gold, hybrid, repository), licenses used, APC costs, publication languages, and distribution by disciplines and institutions.
The methodology follows European recommendations to ensure comparability over time and across institutions, regions, and scientific areas.

Interactive dashboard
Dynamic visualizations (maps, charts, comparisons between institutions, autonomous communities, or consortia), with filters and deduplication to avoid counting the same item twice.
Open data download
Download datasets in open formats (CSV, XML, JSON) for your own analysis, institutional reports, or accountability.
Report generation
Export predefined reports with the selected metrics.
Institution comparator
Compare the evolution of different universities, autonomous communities, or research consortia.
API and integration”
API access to the monitored data, integrating open sources (publication records, funding, costs, etc.) using persistent identifiers such as DOI, ORCID, and ROR.
What information does it offer?
Global Open Access
Percentage of scientific publications in open access, by year and with time series.
Routes to openness
Distribution by gold, hybrid, repository routes, etc.
Publication costs
Analysis of the costs associated with open-access publishing (APCs).
Licenses and rights
Types of licenses applied to open publications.
Coverage by discipline, language, and institution
Indicators by subject (for example, UNESCO classification), publication language, institution, and autonomous community, with maps and comparisons.
Repositories
Monitoring the percentage of publications available in repositories and their evolution over time.
Who can use DMPs?
Citizens / Unregistered user
Free access to the public dashboard, to track the national progress of Open Science and download open data without authentication.
Researcher (registered user)
Access extended information with detailed indicators, advanced comparisons between institutions, analyses by discipline, and full time series that are not available in the public view.
Integration with the PLATICA ecosystem
CARREDI
To quantify and characterize the research data that are published and their level of openness.”
The DMP module
To assess the extent to which data planning translates into data that are actually deposited and accessible.
External bibliographic sources and institutional records
Integration of multiple sources to obtain a complete view.
This makes it possible to align national open-science policies and monitor compliance by institutions and funders.
