Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This dataset includes the results of two environmental scanning activities to better understand existing open science practices across Canada and globally. The file titled "Scan of open science policies - Canada and globally" includes results of a scan of OS practices that were manually surveyed across 40 national and global institutions, organizations, and resources (e.g., OS toolkits, guides), and thematically analyzed. The file titled "U15 OS Policy Scan" includes results of a manual scan of U15 Canadian Universities, as well as Brock University and Simon Fraser University of OS policies , guidelines, declarations and then thematically analyzed. These findings provided insights for the uOttawa Open Science Working Group's final recommendations for its Open Science Roadmap.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
