Open Research is 'the practice of research in such a way that others can collaborate and contribute'
Open Research is research which seeks, at each stage of the research lifecycle, to be discoverable, accessible, reusable, transparent and sustainable. It includes Open Access and Open Data. Practising Open Research means sharing research outputs and processes as early as possible in the research lifecycle in a way that enables access and reuse by others.
The terms ‘Open Research’ and ‘Open Science’ can be used interchangeably. At DMU, along with many UK institutions, we choose to use the term ‘Open Research’ as inclusive of all disciplines and research communities.
Further information on Open Research is set out below. For ideas of Open Research approaches, and examples of DMU Open Research activities, click on the Ideas and Examples tab.
DMU's Open Research Position Statement summarises the University’s approach to Open Research. Informed by external frameworks including the Concordat on Open Research Data and the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, it sets out key principles for the conduct and support of Open Research at De Montfort University, and is supported by more detailed Policy Frameworks for Open Access and Research Data Management.
