Love Radio 3, love that the Proms are all just on there for free, love the halftime chat that has the same structure as halftime chat in sport but where they are never, ever going to actually go “well, he’s not a *great* Finnish conductor, is he?”

Out of office on, Teams and work emails removed from my phone and 2 weeks of full-time PhD-ing ahead! Starting slightly late as I needed to do some peer reviewing this morning, but hoping to write up the 4th theme in my thematic analysis over the next 2.5 days #PhDSky

What does “Open Research” mean for qualitative research? - Impact of Social Sciences

Open research has become a buzzword in university research, but Jo Hemlatha and Thomas Graves argue that when it comes to qualitative research, considerations around replicability, context-dependent…

"Perhaps the most overlooked open research practice is interpersonal openness. This is an attitude of transparency about the aims and process of the research project, and about the researchers’ motivations and backgrounds – their positionality – when communicating with research participants."

Really interesting day of discussions at the UKRI research data policy consultation event in Birmingham, and I'm clearly fulfilling some kind of librarian stereotype as I'm across the aisle from @kirstywallis.com in the quiet coach

What is a University Press?

I was having a pretty good week last week, until we got to the closing minutes of play. At that point, I learned that Amsterdam University Press (AUP) had been acquired by the for-profit corporate pub...

This point really resonated as it came up yesterday in different guises in the sessions on sensitive data and open qual research. There's something about creating frameworks which are flexible enough to allow these differences but are still supportive/offer sufficient guidance

Frances Pinter: Ukraine may be an extreme case - really need to recognize "as open as possible, as closed as necessary" means diff things to diff ppl - must be locally specific and internationally understood. #openscience #openaccess @lselibrary.bsky.social #academisky #scisky

@eve.gd - do we need to rethink what #openaccess is for now that many reseachers/teachers really do not like where it has brought us. You can't "hide" from ANYTHING when everything is available. If you feel "at-risk" or targeted, is OA good? #academicsky #scisky #openscience @lselibrary.bsky.social

Still a few hours left to sign up for our (unfortunately still topical) Open Research in the Age of Populism event, today 4-5pm: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/open-resea... We have a stellar panel with @eve.gd @rouhiroo.bsky.social and Frances Pinter, expertly chaired by Jason Alexander

Open Research in the Age of Populism

Do you have a responsibility to be open and how you can protect yourself when making research openly available?

The thing I most enjoyed in today's #OSF25 panel was listening to researchers who were really keen on Open Science even though its difficult for them. So often we're just dealing with folks who aren't keen, and it's hard to remember all the champions!

Really enjoyed attending my first two #OSFest25 events today - some really practical discussions around sensitive data and big methodological issues in the session on open qual research. There's still time to sign up to the rest of the events in the festival: doi.org/10.5522/04/2...

It just keeps getting better! It’s been such fun to collab with @drbeth.bsky.social from the Crick and @rosiehigman.bsky.social and Lucy from LSE, not long until the Festival kicks off and I can’t wait! Check out the program and get involved! :)
