Examples of open research practices

Open Data: Open text and open images. For example, “Hume Texts Online is a free and open access collection of works…[which] includes every philosophical text that Hume published, in accurate editions that faithfully represent the original 18th century publications, but without neglecting the advantages of modern online texts…Thanks to the National Library of Scotland and the Royal Society of Edinburgh, we are also able to reproduce here high-quality digital images of Hume’s manuscript of the Dialogues concerning Natural Religion. These pages are made available alongside the text of the first posthumous 1779 edition.” (https://davidhume.org/)
