    Title: From H-Index to OS-Index. Incentivising the Open Science Uptake Among Scientists by Highlighting Their Open Science Effort
    Abstract: Most experts agree that a very important factor to accelerate the uptake of open science is to establish a system of reward and incentives for it. In fact, the Achilles heel of open science is the lack of recognition for such work at the researcher's level. In this paper, I will advocate a simple solution for this: Build an OS index!
