7. What is Open Research?
“Open research is the process of conducting and sharing
research in which a selection of research proposals, work-
process documents, literature reviews, methodologies,
research instruments, analytical frameworks, findings and/or
data are intentionally shared on publically-accessible
platforms in order for others to freely access, use, modify,
and share them subject to measures that preserve ethical
practice and legal provenance.”
(Hodgkinson-Williams & King, 2015:5)

[Library introduction]
Ask folks to introduce themselves and give one reason as to why participating in workshop
Group brainstorm activity – get folks to yell out suggestions
Open Access / Open Data / Open Education
Group activity – 15 minutes to brainstorm how you could be open at different stages of research cycle
Look for open access publications
Open Data
Open Access
Data analysis
Blog about findings
Publically share
Share successful funding bids
How many people have an online identity?
Digital Scholar – Martin, role of tech in academic life
Give prominence and connect with others
Conversations
Surveys too
Robert Schwur blog post about our data: sharing data means folks can interrogate it, do new things, check your analysis etc.
GO-GN blogs
Katy example (MOOC completion rates using openly available data. Visualisation and blogged. Went “viral” and feat. In Private Eye etc.)
Use slideshare (perhaps list useful platforms here or have new slide with them on?)
One consequence of this is increased visibility of your research – not just of you and your work but also of projects and your institution. Open Access publication means people outside an institution or not in academia can access your research, Global South or places with little/no access to research etc. Higher Citation rates
Build this in – can’t do retrospectively (e.g. get consent for release of open data)
Open Research course looking at this
Issues to consider
Preparing data for release in open can take time
Useable formats
Can take time to find your network(s)
Practice regular blogging etc. Twitter tag team example.
What happens if someone steals my idea? Can be very close to your research! At least with CC you are stating the permissions you want a resource to be used under and how to reference it. With articles etc. that are not open access people can still copy etc.
Times are changing and its happening whether you engage or not!… more acknowledgement by major funders and governments that the output of publically funded research should be publically available.
Growing number of resources to help – library, Open Science MOOC etc.
For example: Wellcome Trust
ORO REF 2021. higher citation rates
“HEFCE now requires that the full-text of journal articles and published, peer-reviewed conference proceedings (with an ISSN) are deposited in an open access repository within 3 months from acceptance. This is a change from the previous timeframe of 3 months from first publication (in place since 1st April 2016).” (email from Michelle Peralta)
Not just blogging but pervasive use of social media both in our non-academic lives and in academia. Many funders want to see innovative and interesting use of social media tools to engage with different audiences. NB not Broadcast model! Different voices
