Research Culture Uncovered

In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered podcast we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter?

In this episode Nick Sheppard looks back at a year in open research, reflecting on some of the projects he has been involved with including the Knowledge Equity Network and a successful Wikimedia Champions project.

Nick is Open Research Advisor based in the University of Leeds Libraries and one of the Senior Leads for the Knowledge Equity Network.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• How open research and knowledge equity are supported by Wikimedia
• Benefits for universities of engaging strategically with Wikimedia in the areas of information literacy and research impact
• A project to develop a series of 75 open research case studies across different disciplines and research methodologies
• The Open Lunch series of virtual talks that explore different aspects of open practice
• How open research relates to and is an integral part of broader research culture
