What is Open Research?
Open research is the practice of making research data, methods, and findings freely accessible to enhance transparency, collaboration, and equity. It aims to break down barriers to knowledge-sharing, empowering diverse stakeholders to engage in academic discourse and foster innovation to tackle complex societal challenges.
What are the benefits of open research?
Open research enhances integrity by making hypotheses, methods, data, and results available for everyone to see, leading to more reliable and trustworthy conclusions. It promotes reproducibility, helping others verify findings or expand on them, and ensures research remains accessible for future use. This openness boosts the visibility and impact of research by allowing findings to be shared quickly and reach a wider audience.
