\section*{Two new altmetrics for Open Science: OSI and COSI}  \textbf{We introduce two new altmetrics that measure the degree of openness and collaboration of scholars individuals  and institutions. The Open Science Index (OSI) and the Collaborative Open Science Index (COSI). } \begin{itemize}  \item \textbf{OSI: the fraction of articles written in the open.} A So, for example, a  scholar has OSI of 50\% if half of their articles are private. publicly accessible.  Similarly, an institution has an OSI of 70\% if 7 out of 10 articles authored by affiliated scholars are open. \item \textbf{COSI: the fraction of collaborators participating in open articles.} A So, for example, 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 We have introduced these metrics on all Authorea profile page and institutional pages. Note: in  calculating these metrics we only consider articles with more than 50 edits. edits (commits).  As Authorea is currently used mostly in the hard sciences, institution OSI and COSI are based on small statistics. This %This  is about to improve thanks to the inclusion of a rich text editor that will allow scholars used to writing their papers with MS Word to adopt the platform. %In the meanwhile we report the current OSI and COSI for some Ivy league universities. %\begin{table}  %\label{tab:table_label}
