As part of the Edinburgh Open Research Conference (2023), we will be hosting our inaugural Café, focusing on the themes of how the working towards more open research practices can help to address global challenges.
This will offer an informal space to share research, innovative ideas, methods and concepts for the enhancement of knowledge and enrichment of the academy and the society in which it serves. In this session of the Research Café, our will present on their own experiences with Open Research, with plenty of time for conversation and questions. Dr Marshall Dozier (Academic Support Librarian, CMVM) and Dr Ruth McQuillan (UNCOVER co-lead, Reader in Global Public Health Education) will introduce and prompt a discussion of principles, aspirations, and challenges of open practices in evidence synthesis research, drawing on the UNCOVER group’s experience of producing systematic reviews, rapid reviews, and policy briefings. Prof. Lauren Hall-Lew (Prof. of Sociolinguistics in Linguistics and English Literature and director of the Lothian diary project) will introduce us to the impacts of open practices on her research.
