The Ministry of Higher Education and Research publishes the results of the French Open Science Monitor for 2022. The rate of French scientific publications in open access has increased for the fourth consecutive year. Thanks to an innovative methodology, the Monitor has been enriched with new indicators on the opening of doctoral theses, as well as research data, codes and software associated with publications.
In December 2022 67% of the French scientific publications published in 2021 were in open access. This indicator has been steadily increasing since the creation of the French Open Science Monitor with a gain of 5 points compared to 2021 and a 29 point increase since 2018. The increase concerns all research fields, which for the first year all have an opening rate of over 50%. This reflects researchers’ changing publication practices and is a sign that the national open science policy led by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research in coordination with all the stakeholders in the scientific community is now bearing fruit.

This 2022 edition of the Monitor also includes the first set of indicators dedicated to research data and to codes and software. These are based on a truly pioneering methodology based on full-text mining and artificial intelligence. It was developed thanks to the national post-Covid Recovery Plan in partnership with the Universitéy of Lorraine and the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (Inria). Thanks to these new indicators, an initial estimate can be made that 22% of French scientific publications mentioning the production of data are referring to sharing a dataset. This rate rises to 20% for codes and software.
