Open research across disciplines

Although a lot of open research practices have commonly been discussed under the term “open science”, open research applies to all disciplines. If the concept of open research is new to you, it might be difficult for you to determine how you can apply open research practices to your research. The aim of this document is to provide resources and examples of open research practices that are relevant to your discipline.

This longer document (58 pages) lists case studies of open research per discipline, and resources per discipline (organised as: general, open methods, open data, open output and open education).
