Overview

This is a guidance document to help use case communities measure their work against the OA strategic outcomes. The benefit of this is to aggregate impact more simply, widely, confidently and consistently. With the MEL framework below, we are implementing a consistent approach to demonstrating impact across OA.

As part of the initiative’s commitment to open working, use case communities are encouraged to publish the provided template openly, and provide regular updates on progress via the Adoption and Engagement Forum at each of the agreed monitoring milestones (Step 3) and on completion of the project (Step 4).
