Open research refers to the approach of ensuring that research is transparent and accessible throughout its entire process. This encompasses making resources acquirable, including research data, laboratory observations, protocols, and methodologies available for free, under conditions that allow for their unimpeded retrieval. Additionally, it involves the registration of research and the dissemination of research findings in a way that is accessible to professionals, the general public, and research participants.
Lack of transparency in research distorts the evidence base, negatively impacts patients, undermines trust in research, and leads to waste. In contrast, transparent research is easier to replicate and reproduce. Sharing all research findings, regardless of whether the study is successful or not, creates vital evidence for other researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and research funders. This helps to prevent waste and speeds up the process of translating research into real-world improvements for individuals and society.
• Methods: Evaluating the validity of research designs, statistical formulas, and experimental biases.
• Reporting: Raising the standards for how data is shared and how studies are written up.
• Reproducibility: Testing whether independent scientists can replicate the results of a published study.
• Evaluation: Analyzing how peer review works and how scientific papers are judged.
• Incentives: Examining how funding, promotions, and awards shape the choices that researchers make.
