This session forms part of the Reading Researcher Development Programme (RRDP) for Research Postgraduates.

This course will give you an introduction to open research methods and why they are important to the culture of research at University of Reading and the growing open research worldwide movement.
We’ll cover the main principles, ask why open research is important and suggest small steps that you can take to make your research processes more open, transparent and accountable. We’ll cover concepts such as open notebooks, open data, open access, open peer review etc. This content fits in with the University’s open research action plan, open access and open data policies (see www.reading.ac.uk/research/research-environment/open-research).

Book your place through Reading's Student Information System (RISIS). The timetable can be viewed on the RRDP webpage in the 'Things to do now' section. You can also view a full timetable in the Doctoral and Researcher College site on Blackboard.
