OpenAIRE Graph at “Embracing the Future: Practising Open Science Today”
The programme approached Open Science from complementary perspectives. The first session addressed academic publishing, the transparency of Open Access costs, university presses and open educational practices. The second explored the governance of research data and artificial intelligence, academic freedom, research quality, reproducibility and evidence-based monitoring.
In his presentation, "OpenAIRE Graph: laying the foundations for the strategic analysis of Open Research", Paolo Manghi explained why reliable research monitoring requires an open, shared and publicly governed research information infrastructure. The OpenAIRE Graph connects publications, research data, software, projects, organisations and funders by integrating information from thousands of sources. It cleans, deduplicates and enriches these data as a shared resource, reducing the need for individual institutions to build and maintain separate data-processing pipelines.
The presentation also highlighted the importance of research information sovereignty. When the data, classifications and methods underpinning research analysis remain open and transparent, institutions, funders and research communities retain greater control over how research is represented, interpreted and assessed. The contribution provided a bridge between the principles discussed throughout the event and the following presentation on the Italian Research Monitor, by Donatella Tamagno (SNS). The Monitor demonstrated how the curated information offered by the OpenAIRE Graph can support open, reliable and evidence-based analysis of Open Science practices across Italian research institutions.
