In this episode of the Big Open Science Podcast, recorded during a study visit at CSIL – Centre for Industrial Studies in Milan, we explore how the impact of Open Science can be understood, measured, and evaluated from a policy and economic perspective.
We speak with Louis Colnot about the PathOS project, a European initiative that developed analytical frameworks and tools to assess what Open Science delivers to research systems, society, and innovation. The conversation focuses on how methodologies such as Cost–Benefit Analysis can be adapted to capture the complex dynamics of Open Science ecosystems.
The episode also examines the application of these tools through concrete case studies, including RCAAP, Portugal’s national repository infrastructure. This example illustrates how Open Science practices can generate measurable effects in areas such as knowledge dissemination, collaboration, and economic efficiency.
Together, these insights show that evaluating Open Science requires not only technical indicators and policy frameworks, but also robust methodological approaches capable of capturing its broader societal and economic value.
