Abstract: Open science movement gains attention since it might enable a second scientific revolution that fundamentally changes research methods and standards across science. However, the discussion topics towards opens science both from the academia and the environments outside the scholarly communication process have not been formally identified. This paper contributes to that end by analyzing 145,716 open-science-related tweets and 3,200 research papers in Scopus from 2011 to 2022. The results show there is increasing interest about open science both on Twitter and from academia. There are similar foci for both the public on Twitter and the academia from Scopus, including cloud computing and COVID-19 pandemic. When the public on Twitter focus on open science events and citizen science, the scholarly research is more concerned about the detailed aspects and novel innovation in research. The findings might interest the policy-maker for offering evidence to facilitate open science policies and practices.
