UKRN Open Research Training Resources and Priorities Working Paper

Systematic review -used to assess the open access resources available - used as the initial point to improve open science in universities.
Large-scale survey - used to assess the needs of the trainers and students regarding open science - another initial point to build a infrastructure that accommodates open science behaviour in university.
There is a huge set of mentioned tools used for each stage of the research cycle. Might be interesting to add them here too.

This paper focuses on understanding where the 18 centers are in terms of open science. By assessing this, they can make a strategy to be more open.
After informal chats with leaders of the centers, they organized the items related to open science into 6 categories according to the research cycle: planning, conducting, analyzing. disseminating, evaluating and incentivizing research.

There is no educational infrastructure on open access across this study. 62% of the resources don’t have a certain trainer, indicating that researchers learn by themselves. This is, of course, not a bad thing, but if learning groups were established, it would be more efficient, for example.
Most of the resources are decentralized (online), a common online infrastructure that guides researchers would be very beneficial.

Most of open sources for training researchers in open science are involved in planning or analysis, which hinders the educational loop of open science. Incentivizing and disseminating are just as important.
Very few resources are destinied to reproducibility, which also hinders open science.
The sources of highest quality are not even open access!
