Open Research team
The Open Research team (formerly Research Support) works in partnership with academic and research staff, postgraduate research students, and other staff facilitating research.
We provide guidance and training to help you plan, publish, preserve and share your research. We can help with:
- Open Access, including University policy, funder mandates, and REF OA requirements
- research data management, including University and funder data policies, data management planning, and advocacy for good practice
- Open Research, promoting openness and transparency in research, and developing networks of practice
- copyright legislation, exceptions and related licences concerning scholarly publications
- ORCID iDs and other identifiers
- citation analysis and bibliometrics, general principles and practice for individual researchers.
We provide one-to-one support (via email, telephone, Zoom or Google Meet). We also deliver training activities and briefings for departments.
