Open Science (OS) aims, in part, to drive greater societal impact of academic research. Government, funder and institutional policies state that it should further democratize research increase learning awareness, evidence-based policy-making, the relevance society's problems, public trust Yet, measuring OS has proven challenging synthesized evidence is lacking. This study fills this gap by systematically scoping existing driven its various aspects, including Citizen (CS), Access (OA), Open/FAIR Data (OFD), Code/Software others. Using PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews searches conducted Web Science, Scopus relevant grey literature, we identified 196 studies contain impact. The majority concern CS, with some focused on OA, only a few addressing other aspects. Key areas found are education climate environment, social engagement. We no literature documenting OFD limited terms policy, health, Our findings demonstrate critical need additional suggest practical policy implications.

Calls to make scientific research more open have gained traction with a range of societal stakeholders. Open Science practices include but are not limited the early sharing results via preprints and openly outputs such as data code reproducible extensible. Existing evidence shows that adopting has effects in several domains. In this study, we investigate whether one or leads significantly higher citations for an associated publication, which is form academic impact. We use novel dataset known Indicators, produced by PLOS DataSeer, includes all publications from 2018 2023 well comparison group sampled PMC Access Subset. total, analyze circa 122’000 publications. calculate publication author-level citation indicators broad set control variables isolate effect Indicators on received citations. show adopted different degrees across disciplines. find release preprint correlates significant positive advantage about 20.2% (±.7) average. also online repository smaller yet still 4.3% (±.8) However, do code. Further needed additional alternative measures impact beyond Our likely be interest researchers, publishers, funders, policymakers.
