For me, open research means sharing knowledge in diverse ways, through diverse channels, to a diverse audience; and it does not mean complying with mandates to deposit incomplete manuscripts in institutional repositories that audiences will never find. #UKRN2026

A nostaligic - and uncharacteristically sunny - walk across town from Victoria Station - I used to live and work in Manchester, and do in fact hail from this side of the Pennines (don't mention back in Yorkshire 🤫)

Great to see @nickshepp.bsky.social from the Leeds Open Research Team, a WRL collaborator, presenting at @academiclibsnorth.bsky.social on connecting the "opens". A topic closely aligned with WRUP's mission and the role of repositories in supporting equitable access to knowledge!

As data becomes more central to research, thoughtful management and curation from the very start of a project is essential. While the FAIR principles are often confused with open data, the session highlighted the important distinctions — and how they work together to strengthen research practice.

We enjoyed a great session on FAIR data yesterday! Head of @water.leeds.ac.uk Gabriela Lopez-Gonzalez, joined Nick Sheppard and Scott McLaughlin at the Edward Boyle Library to deliver a presentation on implementing the FAIR Principles
