\textbf{We introduce two new altmetrics that measure the degree of openness and collaboration of scholars and institutions. The Open Science Index (OSI) and the Collaborative Open Science Index (COSI). }  \begin{itemize}  \item \textbf{OSI:Is  the fraction of articles written in the open.} A scholar has OSI of 50\% if half of his articles are private. Similarly, an institution has an OSI of 70\% if 7 out of 10 articles authored by affiliated scholars are open. \item \textbf{COSI:Is  the fraction of collaborators participating in open articles.} A scholar has a COSI of 67\% if 2 out of 3 co-authors are collaborating on an open article. The COSI is a collaboration-weighted measure of openness. \end{itemize}  In calculating these metrics we only consider articles with more than 50 edits. As Authorea is currently used mostly in the hard sciences, the statistics is quite limited. This is about to improve thanks to the inclusion of a rich text editor that will allow scholars use to write their papers with MS Word to adopt the platform. In the meanwhile we report the current OSI and COSI for some Ivy league universities.
