"Open Research - a set of principles and practices whose aim is
to make the outputs of research freely accessible and usable,
thereby to maximise the possibility of public benefit."
- University of Reading

4. WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO?
@JSendall
Co-develop an environment in which Open Research can thrive
Build an inclusive community of open researchers
Involve researchers from PhD students to the professoriate,
professional services partners and the general public

5. WHY DO WE WANT TO DO THIS?
REF FUNDERSPLAN S
The plan, backed by the ERC
& national research agencies
& funders from 14 European
countries requires
researchers who benefit from
state funding to publish in
compliant open repositories
or journals by 2020
Environment Statement:
Institutional strategy for
enabling Open Research
Increasingly expect or require
the outputs and underlying
data pursuant to their funding
to be made openly available
to all and for access
restrictions to be reasonably
justified

OPEN RESEARCH AS AN INSTITUTIONAL PRIORITY ?
@JSendall

8. SUMMARISE YOUR VIEWS ON OPEN RESEARCH
We should be in a position
where we don't have to think
about Open Research, it is just
the natural way of doing things.
@JSendall
The current 'closed' system is
outdated, unethical and hinders
scientific progress.
If it is not open, is it really
research?
