Measuring Open Science in Transportation (MOST)

What is the state of open science in transportation research? Explore here!

Welcome

This website hosts interactive pages for the Measuring Open Science in Transportation (MOST) project [1] .

Our research utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze and measure the adoption of open science practices across thousands of transportation research papers. This platform allows readers and reviewers to explore our findings and verify the data and code availability state in the field.

Project Highlights

10,000+ Papers

Comprehensive analysis of transportation research articles from major journals from 2019-2024.

LLM-Enabled

Leveraging Large Language Models to automatically detect and classify open science practices with validation.

Open Data & Code

Exploring the evolution of data availability and code sharing trends in the transportation research community.

Available Resources

Data Explorer

An interactive dashboard to explore papers with available data or code, filtered by various criteria.
