Exploring The Landscape of Open Science Learning Resources and Data Repositories: A Comparative Analysis and Ranking Study in The Digital Era

T
his article aims to assess the effectiveness and utility of selected
open educational resources (OER) and open data repositories,
exploring their emerging role in education and research practices.
T
he study investigates how these resources have become
increasingly essential in the digital age, particularly as demand for
accessible, open resources has surged due to the pandemic’s shift to
online learning and research. The analysis offers a detailed ranking
of repositories based on an established marking system, where each
criterion carries one mark, resulting in a total score that reflects
the repository’s overall quality. Key findings highlight strengths
in transparency, ease of access, and the technical capabilities of
each repository, as well as areas needing further enhancement
to meet academic standards for openness and reliability. It
emphasizes how these tools foster transparency, accountability,
and accessibility, aiding researchers, educators, and students in a
more interconnected and resource-sharing academic ecosystem.
T
he paper offers practical insights into the current state of open
educational and scientific resources, providing recommendations
for improvement and highlighting best practices.
