Are you a researcher interested in open research practices? The Open Research Toolkit is now available on the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) website. 

Open research is based on the principle that knowledge produces the greatest benefits when it’s shared as widely as possible. The online toolkit contains information, resources, training materials and good practice examples related to all aspects of open research, including policy, governance, pathways and processes.
