An Open Research culture encourages the adoption of openness throughout the research cycle, via collaborative working and sharing.<\/p>\n
Open Research aims to<\/p>\n
At Kent we are encouraging an open research culture and supporting the sharing of data through:<\/p>\n
We are working with our Eastern Arc colleagues on an Open Research position statement for the consortium.<\/p>\n
Eastern Arc is an affiliate member of the UK Reproducibility Network<\/a> and Kent, Essex and UEA have representation in this network as local network leads<\/a><\/p>\n We’ve run workshops as part of Graduate and Researcher College’s Grant’s Factory training programme<\/a>. These explain the issues that Open Research is trying to solve and the ways and means of conducting open research.\u00a0 See the recordings and slides of two “Open Research – how to do it” sessions<\/a><\/p>\n Eastern Arc are also considering delivering Eastern Arc Open and Reproducible Research events<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/guides\/openresearch<\/a><\/p>\n Our Open Research guide<\/a> outlines the stages in the research process which can be made open. It suggests the tools and platforms that can be used at each stage.<\/p>\n We are developing Kent Data Management Plans (DMP) Online. This will provide bespoke Kent-specific templates and examples of DMPs to make it easier for researchers to plan to manage their data for sharing. This complements our extensive guide on managing research data<\/a> for sharing<\/p>\n We have Open Science Foundation (OSF) membership to provide a Kent OSF platform<\/a>. We will promote this OSF platform to enable collaboration and granular openness at all stages of the research project lifecycle.<\/p>\n We have set\u00a0 up trials to a package of tools including LeanLibrary<\/a>, that will help staff and students to find quality Open Access material online, build up a research question and a search strategy, and support inter-disciplinary research through the AI discovery of previously unseen connections across disciplines.<\/p>\n Since 2014 all our PhDs have been made available in digital form in our institutional repository. All PhDs are now allocated a Digital Object Identifier and students must select a Creative Commons licence to facilitate re-use The recent digitisation of 1200 of our older print theses<\/a>. means that 50% of our theses holdings from the 1960\u2019s onward will be available openly online under a Creative Commons licence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An Open Research culture encourages the adoption of openness throughout the research cycle, via collaborative working and sharing.
