Infographic titled 'New open science insights now available.' It features two bar charts comparing the usage of protocols by academic disciplines. The left chart shows the highest usage in medicine, followed by molecular biology and biochemistry, and social sciences. The right chart indicates medicine as the field with the highest study registration, trailed distantly by environmental sciences and agricultural and biological sciences. The caption encourages diving deeper into research with the latest release of Open Science Indicators. The footer notes the data is based on 204 sharing sites with the most published articles as available on OpenAlex.
