Abstract: We present a novel dataset which enables quantitative analysis of the relationship between institutional support for Open Science and research performance. We analysed promotion, review, and tenure policies (PRT) from institutions originating from seven countries and combined them with bibliographical data from the outputs generated by each institution. The data were normalised and evaluated against Open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) indicators, to enable comparisons and easy machine readable access. The significance of this dataset lies in its potential to answer a range of questions that are key to the understanding of what motivates academics with regards to their research practices and publishing behaviors, using various indicators, including the MoRRI 1 . To our knowledge, this collection constitutes one of the first efforts in delivering a large machine readable dataset enabling quantitative analysis on these aspects, as much work in this area has been carried out only through surveys and qualitative analysis.
