Summary:
The University of Leeds Open Research Statement was published in October 2022 and demonstrates our commitment and support for open research practices for staff, students, partners, and the wider community. Leeds is just the latest university to publish such a statement, following the lead of the University of Reading in January 2019. For this online event, we are very pleased to welcome Dr Robert Darby from that pioneering institution to hear about how Reading have worked to embed open research practices, their successes and challenges, next steps and what they have learned along the way. Robert is the Research Data Manager at the University of Reading and a senior member of the Library's Research Engagement team, which provides research publishing, research data management, bibliometrics and digital humanities services, and supports the University's initiative to develop a culture of Open Research. He has played a strategic role in developing this initiative and was instrumental in drafting the University’s Statement on Open Research. He is currently involved in a UK Reproducibility Network project that will develop a toolkit to assist institutions in implementing research assessment policies and procedures that include recognition of Open Research. Also speaking will be Dr Bernadette Moore, chair of the Open Research Advisory Group, a subgroup of Research Culture, who will introduce the statement and chair a discussion about the future of open research at Leeds and across the sector.
