Using open practices in your research
'Open' can be a force multiplier for your field. Discover how openness can improve opportunities for collaboration and community within your field. While increasing the visibility and engagement with your research as a whole and allowing for transparency and rigour to be applied to your work.
This course will explore key concepts around openness in the research cycle, look at the benefits and challenges of open, and equip you with a strong starting point for your own open practices.
By the end of this course, you will have gained a grounding knowledge of the breadth of what can be open in your research process and how to apply it.
Discussing:
• Benefits and challenges of open practices
• How to be open during the research process. Open source, licences, code, and more – which will prepare you for...
• Making your research outputs open: preprints, open data, open access and archiving.
• Tips, tricks and getting off to a confident start.
With plenty of discussion time to share any existing open practices your peers can learn from and learn from them in turn.
