This resource outlines a process for choosing indicators aimed at assessing Open Research. The process relies on two concepts: an indicator framework and an indicator toolbox. The indicator framework is context-specific decision lens that sets out why, for whom, and under what conditions indicators will be used. Whereas, the indicator toolbox is the curated collection of potential indicators, qualitative and quantitative, organized and documented with the rationale for each selected indicator. The framework and toolbox work together. The indicator framework provides the strategy for selecting and using indicators, while the toolbox supplies and documents the chosen indicators and their application. This guide draws on the European Commission report: Indicator frameworks for fostering open knowledge practices in science and scholarship (2019).

| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
