What does open research mean? An introductory guide
Event Information
About this event
In the past twelve months we have witnessed an unprecedented coordinated effort from the scientific community in tackling COVID-19 pandemic across the world. This global effort has been enhanced through the use of open datasets, sharing of results, public access to scientific papers, etc. But what does open research mean for young scientists, early career researchers, etc. as they embark on their own scientific careers and endeavours. In this short talk we consider what open research means in terms of the use of open data, use of open access for publishing, the use of open source for software code and other technologies. Why does opening up science and research have such potential impact. The talk will be of interest to a wide range of students, academics and professionals who are interested in learning about opening up research - not just to other scientists but to policy makers, researchers, citizen scientists and the public.
