UniLaSalle has just published its 2024 Open Science Barometer (BSO), a tool for measuring progress in the openness of scientific publications produced by the Polytechnic Institute.
The French Open Science Barometer 2024 has just been published on the website of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. It reveals that 67% of the 160,000 French scientific publications published in 2023 were open access in December 2024, a rate 1.5% up on last year's Barometer.
UniLaSalle, for its part, boasts an 84.3% rate of open access publications in the 2024 Barometer, compared with 83.5% in 2023. This rising figure confirms the efforts made by the Lasallian scientific community to improve access to research data.
Created by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation in 2019, and as part of the National Plan for Open Science, the Open Science Barometer measures the percentage and progression of open access publications, i.e. publications that can be freely consulted in full by anyone and without restrictions.
