The growing collection of training materials includes courses in: Research and Data ethics Introduction to Responsible Research and Innovation Use of Open Data in Teaching Open Licensing Open Peer Review Preprints Open Access Publishing FOSTER Open Science Registered Reports A publishing format that emphasizes the importance of the research question and the quality of methodology by conducting peer review prior to data collection. Registered Reports Replication Policy An initiative by Royal Society Open Science that commits a journal to publishing any methodologically sound replication of any previous empirical work published in the journal, regardless of the results. Authors can either submit a replication study that is already completed or a proposal to replicate a previous study. Replication Policy Systematic Review Facility (SyRF) SyRF is a free-to-use online platform for performing systematic reviews of preclinical studies. It is an initiative by CAMARADES, funded by the NC3Rs. It aims to provide: Secure screening database, data repository and analysis applications Educational resources on how to conduct and report a systematic review Guidance on any aspect of preclinical systematic review and meta-analysis process SyRF Octopus A novel publishing concept designed to replace journals and papers as the place to establish priority and record work in full detail. Octopus is free to use and publishes all kinds of scientific work, whether it is a hypothesis, a method, data, an analysis or a peer review. Octopus Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT) The framework aims to provide a pedagogical infrastructure designed to recognize and support the teaching and mentoring of open and reproducible science tenets in tandem with prototypical subject matters in higher education. Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Factor The TOP Factor assesses journal policies for the degree to which they promote core scholarly norms of transparency and reproducibility. Journals select which of the eight transparency standards they wish to implement and select a level of implementation for each. These features provide flexibility for adoption depending on disciplinary variation, but simultaneously establish community standards. TOP Factor Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) An initiative to improve the efficiency and sustainability of laboratories, with a focus on reproducible research to reduce research waste. Labolatory Efficiency Assessment Framework UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) Open Research Primers A set of crowdsourced primers on five topics: preprints, preregistration/registered reports, open code/software, data sharing, and open-access publishing. Each primer is written by a cross-disciplinary team. UKRN Open Research Primers Transpose Transpose is a database of journal policies on peer review, co-reviewing, and preprinting. Transpose Digital Curation Centre (DCC) The DCC provides advice and practical assistance on how to store, manage, protect, and share digital research data. They also provide online tools, guidance, training and consultancy services. Digital Curation Centre FAIRsharing.org FAIRsharing.org is a curated educational resource on data and metadata standards, databases and data policies. FAIRsharing.org Sherpa Romeo Sherpa Romeo is an online resource listing publishers' open access policies and provides summaries of publisher copyright open access archiving policies on a journal-by-journal basis.
