What is MONITOR?
OpenAIRE MONITOR equips funders, research initiatives, and institutions with the tools to track, analyze, and understand research activities, including bibliometric data. Tailored dashboards, interactive visualizations, and customizable options provide actionable insights to meet diverse goals.
With Customizable Dashboards, MONITOR offers full control over how you track and present research insights. Select from existing indicators, create new ones, and organize them into custom sections. Choose from a variety of visualizations to effectively align data with your objectives and audiences.
Empower your organization to communicate impact with clarity, flexibility, and control.

Our Mission
Advancing Transparency and Impact through Open Infrastructures
At OpenAIRE, we empower funders, institutions, and research initiatives to track progress, evaluate outcomes, and make evidence-based decisions with confidence. MONITOR showcases research impact with actionable metrics, from collaborations to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Rooted in Open Science principles, we ensure transparency in data, methodologies, and indicators, fostering accountability and inspiring a culture of openness across the global research landscape.
What Can You Track?
Comprehensive Indicator Themes for Informed Decision-Making
- Funding: Track research funding through grants and projects, including insights into budgets, transformative agreements, and funded outputs like publications and datasets.
- Research Output: Monitor a wide range of research products, including publications, datasets, software, and data management plans, along with their associated Open Access routes/colours and grant support.
- Open Science: Evaluate compliance and uptake of Open Science practices with metrics like FAIRness, metadata availability and quality, openness, and Plan S alignment.
- Collaborations: Analyse co-authorship networks and research partnerships across countries, institutions, and disciplines to uncover trends in collaboration.
- Impact: Measure influence through citations, downloads, and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), building a 360o view of research outcomes.

How are Dashboards Created?
OpenAIRE MONITOR dashboards are powered by the OpenAIRE Graph, a comprehensive collection of research information. Data is aggregated from a large pool of trusted global sources, including repositories, publishers, global registries (Crossref, Datacite, ORCID, ROR, re3data, Patstat, etc.) and research information systems. This data is then enriched and validated through a series of automated processes, including text and data mining and deduplication. This ensures that the OpenAIRE Graph remains a high-quality, reliable source of information for research monitoring and assessment.
OpenAIRE MONITOR uses this data to create interactive dashboards that provide insights into research activities, Open Science uptake, collaborations, and impact. The diagram below illustrates the flow of data from these sources to the OpenAIRE Graph and ultimately to OpenAIRE MONITOR, which generates interactive dashboards.
The OpenAIRE Graph is continuously updated, and user feedback is incorporated to improve its quality and relevance.
