Dear all,

The last in "The case for Open Research" series - 
https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?page_id=2#OpenResearch is 
now available.

"The case for Open Research: solutions?" is available at 
https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=730 highlights some 
examples of projects, initiatives and experiments with open research. A 
taster:

*****************************************
What would happen if we started valuing and rewarding other parts of the 
research process? This final blog in the series looks at opening up 
research to increase transparency.*The argument suggests we need to move 
beyond rewarding only the journal article -- and not only other research 
outputs, such as data sets but research productivity itself.
<...>*
*However, all of this effort will only succeed if those doing 
the assessing change the rules of the game. This is tricky. Often the 
people who have succeeded have some investment in the status quo 
remaining.*We need strong and bold leadership to move us out of this 
mess and towards a more robust and fairer future.
