Case Studies

UKRN case study: Condensed matter physics

University of Reading case study: Researching Solar Storms with Citizen Scientists

Examples of open research practices

Open Methods: Open workflow. For example, “ESCAPE (European Science Cluster of Astronomy and Particle physics ESFRI research infrastructures) brings together the astronomy, astroparticle and particle physics communities. With this, ESCAPE puts together … projects with aligned challenges of data-driven research, with demonstrated capabilities in addressing various stages of data workflow and concerned with fundamental research through complementary approaches.” (https://projectescape.eu/about-us)

Open Data: The Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) is a “project to exploit the latest generation of ground-based and space-borne survey facilities to study cosmology and galaxy formation and evolution… Using public data, its own campaigns and data sharing with independent survey imaging survey teams, “GAMA is creating an extraordinary multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic dataset with outstanding values to both the large-scale structure and galaxy evolution communities.” Details of data releases are provided on the GAMA website.(GAMA | Galaxy And Mass Assembly (gama-survey.org))
