Examples of open research practices

Open Data: The following are examples of things that could be listed as open data: lists, tables or matrices containing organised, numerical, categorical, and ordinal information (e.g. the population of French medieval cities, a list of participants in the Society of Independent Artists exhibition in 1917, the GDP of European countries before and after Brexit, etc.).

 Open Data: Objects can also be research data. These include historical artefacts, digital (incl. digitised) documents, images, sound and video recordings (e.g. archaeological finds, medieval manuscripts, poetry texts, social media posts, paintings, recording of a theatre performance).

 Open Methods: Make the workflow open of how you arrived at your open data from your source. Share or at least indicate, to the greatest extent that you can, the contextual components and contributors to your understanding of the material and realization of your conclusions etc.

 Open Methods and Open Outputs: Establish your sharing rights while you are at the archive, or otherwise accessing sources. Have the documents I need been digitised? If so, how can I obtain digital copies? If not, may I photograph documents myself or order photographs? May I share any photographs I take away? Under what conditions? Under what license(s) (such as the Creative Commons CC-BY)?
