Abstract
Monitoring and evaluating Open Science (OS) practices and research output in a principled and continuous way is recognised as one of the necessary steps towards its wider adoption. This paper presents the Open Science Observatory, a prototype online platform which combines data gathered from OpenAIRE e-Infrastructure and other public data sources and informs users via rich visualizations on different OS indicators in Europe.
