University of Bristol Open Research Policy

The University of Bristol recognises the moral and practical value of open research. It is committed to the advancement and wide dissemination of knowledge to the benefit of society by adopting practices that support open, reproducible and responsible research, consistent with our civic responsibility as a public university.  Underpinning our Open Research Policy are sub-policies and guidance in established areas of open research practice: these policies will be revised and updated as the landscape evolves, to reflect our commitment to open research practices. These sub-policies are designed as practical ‘how-to’ guides for anyone engaged in research activity, with links to external policies, initiatives and bodies involved in supporting the transition to Open Research.

A glossary provides definitions for the main terms used in the policies - most of these definitions are taken from the FORRT (Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training) Glossary
