Open Research is a range of practices which make research more transparent and visible. The aim is to break down barriers to knowledge and ensure that access is as inclusive as possible.  

Some of the core components of Open Research include: 

These components add to the robustness of research outputs and promote research integrity. They ensure that academic research benefits wider society as the public has free access to quality sources of information and practitioners and policymakers can put findings into practice quickly. Open Research also benefits researchers as research outputs are not restricted behind paywalls and have greater impact as more people read and apply their work.
