Sharing protocols, methodology, code, data and findings in a way that enables free access and reuse by others through open research offers many benefits to you and your research career. These include:
- better access to and uptake of your research by clinicians, practitioners and policy makers
- greater opportunities for research collaboration
- increased transparency of research processes.
There is also some evidence that open access publications have more citations, downloads and usage than items behind a paywall.
You might also be required to make your research openly accessible in order to meet funding requirements.
