Abstract
OpenPulse: Assessing Open Science community metrics for Open Source Software" aims to redefine the measurement of Open Science by focusing on Open Source Software (OSS) from EPFL. It addresses the limitations of current Open Science metrics, which primarily track Open Access publications, by proposing a new framework to evaluate the development of OSS and its community impact. This involves developing a tool, OpenPulse, to monitor OSS activities, establish reliable OSS datasets, and create visualizations for real-time impact assessment. The project emphasizes collaboration, community engagement, and the development of discipline-specific dashboards, aiming to foster a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of Open Science's impact beyond traditional publications.
