In March 2024, The National Open Research Forum (NORF), IReL and OpenAIRE jointly launched the National Open Access Monitor, a cornerstone in Ireland’s shift towards a fully open access research ecosystem. The Monitor will support the shift towards transparency and accessibility of Irish research publications, and tracking Ireland’s goal of 100% of publicly funded research being open access by 2030.
The Monitor provides data on over 500,000 publications, detailing publications from 2007 to the present day.
