This is the final blog post [3/3] focussing on three different open research events attended by members of the University Library Research Services Team. This post covers an event held very close to home (minimal travel, hurrah), held in Nottingham, at the Nottingham Trent University (NTU).
Radoslaw Pajor, research services consultant for research data management (RDM) and open data attended an interesting open research culture event at NTU. Open research is an area of significant priority for our team, we are delivering strands of work for both the University Open Research and Scholarship Group and involved in the UKRN Open Research Programme. Find below Radek’s reflections on the event.
I attended the Open Research Culture event held at the beautiful Conference Centre at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) City Campus. It was great to listen to NTU researcher case studies on the benefits of Open Research to research community, covering areas such as using coding to automate analysis and increase reproducibility of research, importance of preregistration of manuscripts in publishing and engaging local communities in research projects via Co(l)laboratory.
This was followed by institutional case studies delivered by exceptional speakers such as Valerie McCutcheon (University of Glasgow), Scott Taylor (University of Manchester) and Anton Muszanskyj (NTU). All speakers highlighted the role of Libraries in driving the cultural change and gave overviews of recent and planned institutional developments to facilitate the process. Between the talks there were lively group discussions on institutional challenges in development of Open Research culture and the key elements needed to overcome those.
