We have a dedicated OSF page which is updated regularly with Open Science resources, organised by the stages of a research project lifecyle (https://osf.io/2yh6t/). The organisers are [Tom Hostler](mailto:t.hostler@mmu.ac.uk) and [Oliver Clark](mailto:OLIVER.CLARK3@stu.mmu.ac.uk). ### University of Chester Open Research Working Group - The Chester open research working group is known as CORA (Chester Open Research Alliance). If you would like to sign up to our email list, please complete the brief form [here](https://chester.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/cora). We run regular meetings of the R users group, ReproducibiliTea, and workshops on open research practices. Please contact [Suzanne Stewart](mailto:s.stewart@chester.ac.uk) if you would like further information. ### Lancaster University Open Research Working Group - The Lancaster open research group is known as Prospr (Promoting Open Science Practices), and has been running since January, 2017, and is also a member of the wider UK Reproducibility Network. - We run methods training sessions, [workshops](https://osf.io/3bvgp/), host a [ReproducibiliTea](https://reproducibilitea.org/journal-clubs/#Lancaster,%20UK) journal club, an Open Research Café, as well as thinking about curriculum development, and advocating for open research within the university. - If you'd like to join Prospr, please send an email to [John Towse](mailto:j.towse@lancaster.ac.uk), who manages this list. Members also get a snazzy mug to show off to colleagues. ### University of Manchester Open Research Working Group - If you'd like to sign up to our Open Research Working Group email list to keep up to date with Open Research events, please click [here](https://listserv.manchester.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=open_research&A=1).

We have funded a Sheffield Reproducibilty studentship (due to start October 2020) to support meta-science research and are recruiting a Research Practice Lead who will work across the University to champion and promote open research practices, research improvement (including reproducibility) and integrity in research. We host a [ReproducibiliTea](https://reproducibilitea.org/journal-clubs/#Sheffield) as well as one off events like [RepoHacks](https://n8cir.org.uk/news/reprohacks/) (2020-03-10) or the Sheffield Reproducibility Showcase (2019-06-27).
