They help to spread Open Research awareness, knowledge and skills, and to support the use of open practices in research.<\/p>\n<p>In order to be able to maximise the effect of the Open Research Champions we need to know about your experiences with, and attitudes towards Open Research. What are the barriers you face when wanting to make your research more open? What kind of support would you benefit from? Are you aware of the University of Reading\u2019s Open Research Action Plan? On these and other similar questions we would like to hear <strong>your opinion<\/strong>! We have set up a University-wide survey for both colleagues and undergraduate and postgraduate students. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, and anyone who answers all questions can enter a prize draw to win one of three <strong>\u00a350 cash prizes<\/strong>. The results of the survey will be used to inform our work as Open Research Champions and contribute toward a scientific publication that will further our understanding of barriers and opportunities for Open Research across disciplines. In addition, we will report our findings to the Committee on Open Research and Research Integrity, in support of University research strategy and service provision.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Phil Newton, Research Dean for Environment, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want to make your research even better, more used, and more trusted? Then please do take the survey to guide our team of 19 Open Research Champions on how best to help you. This is a great initiative, and the results from the survey will inform our thinking about how the University can best support Open Research in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Find out more information or <a href=\"https:\/\/redcap.link\/OR_Survey\">take part in the survey<\/a> before it closes on 07 November 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its Statement on Open Research, the University highlights the value of Open Research practices, including making research more reproducible and accessible, amplifying impact, increasing both the integrity and quality&#8230;<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"&#104;&#116;&#116;&#112;&#115;&#58;&#47;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#46;&#114;&#101;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#46;&#97;&#99;&#46;&#117;&#107;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#45;&#98;&#108;&#111;&#103;&#47;&#50;&#48;&#50;&#49;&#47;&#49;&#48;&#47;&#48;&#52;&#47;&#104;&#97;&#118;&#101;&#45;&#121;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#45;&#115;&#97;&#121;&#45;&#111;&#112;&#101;&#110;&#45;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#45;&#99;&#104;&#97;&#109;&#112;&#105;&#111;&#110;&#115;&#45;&#116;&#111;&#45;&#108;&#97;&#117;&#110;&#99;&#104;&#45;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#45;&#102;&#105;&#114;&#115;&#116;&#45;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#45;&#111;&#112;&#101;&#110;&#45;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#45;&#115;&#117;&#114;&#118;&#101;&#121;&#47;\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":276,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[634,635,638,1924],"class_list":["post-22374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-open-access","tag-open-data","tag-open-research","tag-research-integrity"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Have your say - Open Research Champions\u00a0to launch the first ever Open Research survey - Connecting Research<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/research-blog\/2021\/10\/04\/have-your-say-open-research-champions-to-launch-the-first-ever-open-research-survey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Have your say - Open Research Champions\u00a0to launch the first ever Open Research survey - Connecting Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In its Statement on Open Research, the University highlights the value of Open Research practices, including making research more reproducible and accessible, amplifying impact, increasing both the integrity and quality...Read More &gt;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/research-blog\/2021\/10\/04\/have-your-say-open-research-champions-to-launch-the-first-ever-open-research-survey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Connecting Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theuniversityofreading\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-10-04T07:55:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/research-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2021\/10\/OR-survey-1021.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anna Frej\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@UniRdg_Research\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@UniRdg_Research\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Anna Frej\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/research-blog\/2021\/10\/04\/have-your-say-open-research-champions-to-launch-the-first-ever-open-research-survey\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/research-blog\/2021\/10\/04\/have-your-say-open-research-champions-to-launch-the-first-ever-open-research-survey\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Anna Frej\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/research-blog\/#\/schema\/person\/a83a75a4fb8e557ec1f4d6b12e6d5971\"},\"headline\":\"Have your say &#8211;
