Open research takes many forms depending on the discipline. In the biological sciences, it often emphasizes open data, while in fields like philosophy, the focus shifts to open materials and sources. Recognizing these differences, the University of Surrey, in collaboration with the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN), has revised the UKRN Primer on Open Research Across Disciplines.
The updated primer and UKRN web pages now provide the latest information about resources, information, guidance and case studies of open research practices in each field. We know this is one of the most valued resources on the UKRN website, and is used in institutions across the UK and internationally. Surrey and UKRN will continue to maintain it, but we do rely on you to help us. If you have any additions or changes you’d like to propose for the next revision, please use this form.
With huge thanks to Professor Emily Farran from the University of Surrey for leading the curation of this resource.
