Open Research

Strategy:

The University is committed to open research as indicated in priority 20 of the Strategic Plan 2018–23. “20. Continued investment in digital tools and infrastructure to be a leader in open scholarship and support open access to collections and research data outputs.”

The University of Oxford enables ambitious research of exceptional quality. Accordingly, the University supports the research community to conduct research and innovation activities with rigour, transparency, and respect.  

Researchers at Oxford, regardless of career stage or job role, benefit from policies, guidance, and training to apply the highest standards of practice when planning, designing, conducting, recording, reporting, and sharing their research findings, conclusions and any underpinning data, sources or materials. 

This approach aligns with the expectations and commitments of various national and international Concordats, sector agreements, and cross-sector norms (such as the Concordat to Support Research Integrity, the Concordat on Open Research Data and the FAIR Principles for data management), and by research funders, professional societies, regulators and publishers.
