LSHTM Open Research Survey Report 2022

The survey was performed to determine current awareness and application of open research practices among LSHTM researchers and support needs that should be addressed to enable greater adoption in the future. This covered ten open research practices – preregistration, registered reports, research co-production, research verification, preprint sharing, open peer review, sharing of public engagement literature, code sharing, Computer Assisted Design sharing, and sharing of physical materials.

Topics covered include current familiarity with and application of open research practices, motivations for applying open practices, intent to apply practices in future research, barriers and concerns, and training needs.
