Easy steps towards open scholarship | Impact of Social Sciences

"Recently I tried to explain on twitter in a few tweets how everyone can take easy steps towards open scholarship with their own work. It’s really not that hard and potentially very beneficial for your own career progress – open practices enable people to read & re-use your work, rather than let it gather dust unread and undiscovered in a limited access venue as is traditional. For clarity I’ve rewritten the ethos of those tweets below: 'Step 1: before submitting to a journal or peer-review service upload your manuscript to a public preprint server Step 2: after your research is accepted for publication, deposit all the outputs – full-text, data & code in subject or institutional repositories' ...  The above is the concise form of it, but as with everything in life there is devil in the detail, and much to explain, so I will elaborate upon these steps in this post."
