For the open research movement to succeed, we need to discuss what we mean by transparency
Speaker(s):
Bio: In my work I focus on mathematics education, classroom research and international Large-scale Assessment. In doing so, I utilise a lot of different methods, which provides the impetus for being involved heavily in research methods, including computational methods and open research.
Bio: I am currently the programme lead for the Psychology BSc at Southampton. Previously I was the programme lead for our Research Methods in Psychology MSc.
Abstract:
Open research practices are becoming increasingly popular, with the term ‘transparency’ being paramount. However, what researchers mean by ‘transparency’ varies considerably depending on disciplines, career stage, and methodological persuasions. We think it is important to discuss such themes. In this workshop, we will start with 2 short 15 minute presentations describing the context. The first presentation (Hayward Godwin) will focus on the context of open research. The second presentation (Christian Bokhove) will explain the challenge of coming to some understanding of what we mean by research transparency. After that, random break-out groups are created for three times 20 minute discussions about the topic. We ask representatives of each group to make notes in a collaborative document for each discussion topic. Finally, we return to feed back the results of the discussions. We aim to publish the collaborative document as a workshop result.
