Iain Hrynaszkiewicz is Director, Open Research Solutions at Public Library of Science (PLOS), where he leads a programme of activity that aims to increase adoption of open science practices, and increase the benefits of adopting open science. This includes PLOS’ initiatives relating preprints, open data, open code, and open methods and protocols. Iain was previously Head of Data Publishing at Springer Nature where he developed and implemented research data policies and services, and was publisher of Nature Research Group’s Scientific Data journal. He has also been Outreach Director at Faculty of 1000 (F1000), and spent seven years at the first commercial open access publisher BioMed Central (BMC) in a variety of editorial, publishing, and product/policy development roles. He has published numerous highly cited peer-​ reviewed papers and book chapters related to open science, data sharing, open access, and reproducible research (https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=utIMqdQAAAAJ&hl=en).

    Reliable data on Open Science practices are needed to support improvements in practice, and to understand the effectiveness of Open Science policies. In 2022 PLOS launched ‘Open Science Indicators’, (OSI) an initiative that tracks adoption of Open Science practices – such as sharing data, code, protocols and preprints – over time in the scholarly literature. PLOS developed requirements for an OSI measurement framework underpinned by six guiding principles and then selected DataSeer as a partner to deliver OSI using an artificial intelligence- supported method.

    To date more than 71,000 articles published in PLOS journals and approximately 7,600 comparator articles in PubMed Central have been analysed. Articles were published between the start of 2019 and the end of 2022. Results are being updated through 2023 as new articles are published. The results show that rates of data sharing, code sharing and preprint posting are increasing between 2019 and 2022 but that these Open Science practices are more prevalent in PLOS articles. The results also reveal differences in adoption between research fields and geographies enabling analysis of trends in different communities of researchers. The data and methods are being shared openly (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.21687686.v2) to engage interested parties in a conversation about how we can use quantitative, longitudinal evidence on Open Science practices to support increased adoption of Open Science globally. When combined with qualitative insights and other responsibly-used metrics, OSIs could help provide a more complete understanding of the credibility and potential impact of research.
