Open Research at Teesside University
Open Research promotes transparency, accessibility, collaboration and the responsible sharing of knowledge. It includes practices such as Open Access publishing, research data sharing, open methods, open software and public engagement that make research processes and outputs more visible and reusable.
These principles can be applied across all disciplines, from arts and humanities to health, engineering and the social sciences. While approaches may vary between fields, the shared aim is to improve the quality, integrity, visibility and impact of research.
Our commitment
At Teesside University, we are committed to fostering a culture of Open Research that supports research excellence, integrity, collaboration and societal impact.
Open Research helps increase the visibility of research, encourages wider engagement with findings, strengthens public trust and supports the responsible sharing of knowledge. It also aligns with the expectations of many research funders, publishers and sector bodies.
Through our policies, services, training and community initiatives, we support researchers to adopt open practices where appropriate. We encourage research that is as open as possible and as closed as necessary.
