Summary
UK researchers
Area of Science:
- Biomedical research, including systems biology, synthetic biology, and bioinformatics.
Background:
- The UK government has adopted pioneering Open Science and Open Access policies.
- Evaluating the impact of these policies on research practices is crucial for global science policy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To document how UK biomedical researchers understand and implement "openness" in their work.
- To identify themes in understanding and factors influencing the practice of openness in research.
Main Methods:
- Conducted 22 in-depth interviews with UK researchers in specific biomedical fields.
- Analyzed interview transcripts to identify core themes and influencing factors.
Main Results:
- Identified seven core themes characterizing researchers' understanding of scientific openness.
- Identified nine factors that shape the practice of openness in research.
Conclusions:
- Open Science policies have significant implications for research processes and outcomes.
- Provided recommendations for improving the content, effectiveness, and implementation of Open Science policies.
