Improving research through openness

Dr. Beatriz de los Arcos @celTatisThe Open University, UK

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.”
