(A collaboration between LDC, The Library and Student Careers & Skills)

Overview

What defines Open Science and Open Research? How can I work more openly? How can I benefit from the open work of others? Where can I find out more? Discover the essentials of Open Science in just 30 minutes, with opportunities to discuss how this topic applies to your particular area of research. Open to researchers of all disciplines.

Open Research is a movement towards making research more transparent. It includes:

• Open Data to support and validate research outputs
• Publication of research processes and methods
• Open notebook science
• Collaboration and reuse of data
• Sharing of non-published and negative outcomes and their underlying data
• Open Access to published research outputs, preprint publication and open peer-review

Funders and government organisations are increasingly in favour of full openness of all research materials and processes. This session gives an overview of some of the ways you can work openly and how this might improve your processes and increase the impact of your research.

Who should attend?

Research Active Staff (RAS) on Research-focussed, Teaching-focussed and Research & Teaching contracts, and PhD students.
