Open Research
Overview
Welcome to the Open Research course! This course will guide you in making your research more open.
This course is intended for self-paced learning, aimed at academic researchers and scientists in any field and at any stage of their careers. The course is organised into 8 chapters, which you can either complete step-by-step over 8 weeks, or you can focus on specific topics of interest!
Outline First, you will explore what open research is, why it’s important, and how it can be applied to different disciplines and stages of the research process. You will become familiar with the underlying principles of open research: transparency, integrity, and accessibility. You will consider the actions you need to take to ensure your own research outputs meet all three of these standards.
The decision-making tree below summarises the topics covered in this course.
