Open Research

Welcome to the Library’s Open Research service.

How we can help

We provide services to support you in incorporating Open Research principles into your work, in line with the University of Liverpool's Open Research Statement.

Practising Open Research means sharing research outputs (e.g. research protocols, methodology, code, data, and publications) as early as possible in the research process in a way that enables access and reuse by others. As such, Open Research enables greater engagement with research by a wider range of stakeholders both within and outside academia.

Explore the benefits of Open Research, guidance on Open Access, creating a researcher profile and responsible metrics.
