For our purposes, a syllabus is a document that provides a detailed description of a class or class section beyond what one would find in a course catalog (we have also begun to collect catalog data). We collect a wide variety of documents that meet this crition, including reading lists and descriptions produced by curricular portals. The resulting...
Primarily by crawling publicly-accessible university websites. We currently update the syllabus dataset twice per year. For a variety of reasons, collection size always lags the current years. Faculty contributions make up a small but significant portion of the collection. They also form the basis of an emerging ‘full permission’ collection that we...
Citation counts-–how often titles are assigned across the collection–-appear throughout the Syllabus Explorer. If a title appears on a syllabus, it ‘counts.’ If it appears 10 times on a syllabus, it counts only once. If it appears in ‘suggested reading’ or some other secondary list, it still counts. We don’t distinguish primary from secondary readi...
The Syllabus Explorer and Analytics rely on a master catalog to identify titles within the syllabus collection. Currently, this catalog is a combination of The Library of Congress, Open Library, OpenAlex, and open access databases such as the Directory of Open Access Books and Open Textbook Library. The Syllabus Explorer identifies citations by loo...
There are many possible reasons but here are the most likely: 1. X is not assigned on the syllabi currently in the collection. 2. Citations of X don't conform to our matching model. Because we rely on 'Title - Author Last Name' as the identifier, we struggle with certain kinds of citations and categories of work. We won't find, for example, movies ...
The dates of classes are obtained by analyzing the date strings that appear in the syllabus text or the source URL for the document. This process is around 90% accurate, which means that erroneous dates will appear with some frequency. Some schools, too, use date formats that we have difficulty parsing accurately. Fields are challenging because the...
Unlike titles, schools, fields, and countries, authors and publishers do not have unique records in the database. An author search simply returns hits on a particular name. These results can be nearly unique for people with rare names, but are less reliable for common names. Additionally, our source catalogs often contain multiple versions of the s...
Not at all in the Explorer and in anonymized, limited ways in Analytics. The free, public-facing Syllabus Explorer provides no representation of the underlying documents and limits exploration to statistical aggregates and metadata extracted from the syllabi. We also set a minimum number of syllabi required to search fields within schools or countr...
Open Syllabus has been supported by The Arcadia Fund, The ECMC Foundation, The Sloan Foundation, The Hewlett Foundation, and The Templeton Foundation. The project also received a Catalyst Grant from Digital Science in 2018. The release of Open Syllabus Analytics marks a shift toward a subscription-based model for 'pro' versions of OS services desig...
We provide limited, anonymized versions of the OS dataset under some circumstances for academic research. Research leads must be based at a college or university and be able to secure the support of their schools for a 'research use agreement.' If you'd like to inquire about access, write us at contact@opensyllabus.org. If we are slow to follow up,...
The Open Syllabus Project (OSP) is an online open-source platform that catalogs and analyzes millions of college syllabi. Founded by researchers from the American Assembly at Columbia University, the OSP has amassed the most extensive collection of searchable syllabi.
9 de mar. de 2024 · Open Syllabus is a non-profit research organization that collects and analyzes millions of syllabi (any detailed account of an academic class or class section) to support novel teaching and learning applications.
23 de out. de 2019 · Criado em 2016, o site Open Syllabus classifica as obras mais utilizadas pelas universidades do mundo inteiro. Ou quase inteiro: já que países considerados por relatórios internacionais “risco para a comunidade acadêmica”, como o Brasil, não são contemplados.
26 de jun. de 2018 · O Open Syllabus Project (OSP) funciona como uma base de dados, que reúne o currículo de universidades do mundo todo. Ou seja, a ferramenta analisa os sites das instituições e o syllabus de cada disciplina desde o começo dos anos 2000.
16 de jun. de 2019 · Welcome to the Open Syllabus Project 2.0. Now you can explore college teaching, publishing, and intellectual traditions across 6 million classes, 4700 schools, and 79 countries. You can dive into schools and fields, look at how the adoption of texts changes over time, and compare how teaching varies in different countries.
