What is Open Research?
Open Research is a term for the principles and practices that aim to make the research process and its outputs more discoverable, transparent, and reusable.
What is the Open Research Working Group?
The Open Research Working Group (ORWG) at LSE is an informal group of researchers, academics, and professional services staff from across LSE. The aim of the ORWG is to foster a culture of open, transparent, inclusive, and collaborative research across all social science disciplines.
The group will discuss how to create, share, and disseminate best practices to advance openness, transparency, integrity, and reproducibility of social sciences research in the School and beyond.
Members of the ORWG have the opportunity to share ideas and resources, engage in open discussions about meta-research, and learn from each other in a supportive and stimulating environment. The ORWG meets termly and regularly hosts workshops, seminars, and discussions on various topics related to open research, which are open to all at LSE.
