Open Research refers to the practice of conducting scientific or scholarly investigations in a transparent and collaborative manner, often by making research outputs, such as data, methods, and tools, freely accessible to the public, at various stages of the research lifecycle. The aim of open practice is to maximise the potential benefits of research, and research processes, to other researchers, funders, and society.
- Open Research is part of a wider open movement, for more information on the other aspects of open research, please see Open Research Europe.
