Open research is becoming increasingly important as researchers need to comply with institutional or funder requirements and in order to keep in line with accepted practice.
The open researcher needs to be equipped with a good understanding of the opportunities and challenges raised by open research; be skilled in finding and using data generated by others; and understand the legal and ethical requirements relating to their own research outputs.
In this #Vitaechat, we will unravel, share and discuss the many questions surrounding the largely untrodden path of open research. Our moderator, Dr Katie Wheat will be joined by a panel of experts to help understand:
- What open research means and why it is important?
- What are the benefits and challenges of open research?
- How can researchers start using open research practices?
- How can researchers publish openly?
- How can open research help a researcher’s career?
- How can reputation and reward work for individuals in an open research environment?
