Examples of open research practices

Open Data: Lia et al. (2020) (https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.15893.2). The paper is published in Wellcome Open Research (https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/) which is a rapid and transparent publishing platform. Wellcome Open Research supports data citations and peer review reports and follows an open research publishing model which entails publication within days of submission followed by an open invited peer review. All the data used in this paper is openly available with the paper which directs to RCSB Protein Data Bank (https://www.rcsb.org/) and Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/record/3817277) for underlying data and extended data.
