Abstract: In the context of the digital revolution, data is the most valuable resource which gains in value the more it is used. Freely available open source data and institutional data repositories encourage and connect, both academia and industry. The successful use of open data in creating educational resources better prepare the students as future workforce offering specific paths targeted to a job. In terms of research, open data from the government portals ensures additional path for creation of new knowledge and reveal patterns in the data structure. Nowadays, many public administration bodies produce and collect vast quantities of high structured data. The open data initiatives of sharing the information from organizations to citizens evolve into a global phenomenon. As a result, citizens, as well as researchers are more actively engaged in policy making. Our current research paper analyses the perspective of the impact of “data.gov.ro” open data portal on academic research. The main porpose of the research is to examine and evaluate what are the characteristics of the research papers present in Google Scholar returned to the query data.gov.ro, how many of the research papers are indexed in Google Scholar are also present in Web of Science and what are their characteristics in Web of Science. Our results show that although most of the research papers have only one author and are writen in English, only 20% of the papers indexed in Google Scholar are also present in Web of Science, based on Publish or perish software.
