Resources for Engaging in Open and Reproducible Research

If you're interested in learning more about how to adopt open and reproducible research practices, you might be interested in our list of resources. This document allows comments so please do add any resources that we may have missed.


Local Open Research Working Groups

Manchester Metropolitan University Working Group

  • Open Science @ MMU Psychology is the hub of Open Science in the Department of Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University (we are still working on a catchy acronym). 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 and Oliver Clark.

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. We run regular meetings of the R users group, ReproducibiliTea, and workshops on open research practices. Please contact Suzanne Stewart 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, host a ReproducibiliTea journal club, an Open Research Cafรฉ, 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, 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. We have lots of subscribers across lots of disciplines - you don't need to be at the University of Manchester to sign up! If you'd like to contact the ORWG co-organisers, they are Andrew Stewart and Caroline Jay. If you'd like further information about the ReproducibiliTea journal club, please email Thomas Richardson (Richie).

University of Sheffield Open Research Working Group

  • Sheffield Reproducibility Network is part of the UKRN, of which University of Sheffield was one of the first members. 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 as well as one off events like RepoHacks (2020-03-10) or the Sheffield Reproducibility Showcase (2019-06-27). Our mailing list: Sheffield Reproducibility Network
