"The Open Index Project [is] designed to make the evolution of open knowledge easier to discover and understand. Over the last few decades, open access publishing, open data, open source and other open practices have changed how knowledge moves from discovery to dissemination and reuse. At the same time, the landscape surrounding openness has continued to change."
From co-founder Chasz Griego: "Open initiatives span every discipline and region, which makes their collective impact hard to grasp. We created the Open Index Project because so much impactful work is underway, and the information about it is overwhelming to synthesize. The open movement is a worldwide community effort, and we want every leader and practitioner to have resources that not only gather the many reports and milestones defining its impact, but also support decisions that may reach other regions or disciplines."
