[LMU-OSC News] UCL promotes open research at the university level

[LMU Open Science Center News]

The UCL recently published a "[Statement on Transparency in 
Research](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/research/sites/research/files/ucl_statement_on_transparency_in_research_november_20191.pdf)".

*Kudos to UCL for taking such a leading role in committing to good 
scientific practice!*

Some key excerpts:

> UCL’s Research Strategy emphasises our commitment to responsible 
> research, including a commitment to open research and ensuring open 
> access to research outputs.
> [...]

> Making research open is a core part of research transparency, and open 
> research practices are rewarded in promotion decisions.
> [...]

> The reproducibility of both research methods and research results (see 
> Annex for definitions) is critical to research in certain contexts, 
> particularly in the experimental sciences with a quantitative focus. 
> Reproducibility forms part of UCL’s wider commitment to transparency 
> and rigour in all of our research.
> [...]

> UCL is committed to supporting transparency in research and to 
> developing approaches to improve the quality of the research we 
> produce. This includes:

> - continuing to support open research (including through the Academic 
> Careers Framework1) and the necessary cultural change, as discussed in 
> LERU’s policy paper on open science
> - the development of governance processes to enable research outputs 
> to be found, accessed, and reused appropriately when open sharing is 
> not appropriate
> - the development of additional training, including in research 
> methods, and consideration of how to promote transparency in academic 
> teaching
> - improving the sharing of knowledge and best practice across UCL.
