It has been pointed out that efforts by universities and research institutes, as well as individual researchers, play an essential role in the recent global development of open science. Academic information databases that collect open research results on a national or regional basis have begun to provide institutional dashboards that can monitor the open science activities of institutions and lead to reforms in research evaluation. Clarifying the need for dashboards and indicators for universities and research institutions in Japan is expected to promote open science and contribute to the progress of open science and research evaluation reform activities in institutions. In this study, we interviewed a total of 15 people from two communities of librarians and research administrators in Japan. We conducted a qualitative analysis to clarify the groups of metrics that are currently used within institutions and those that are intended to be used in the future. In addition, as a preliminary analysis focusing only on "indicators", based on the extracted indicators, a dashboard for institutions required for each community was constructed.
