Recently I had the chance to consider good examples of open research in social sciences. Once again, with thanks to the various open research communities I'm a part of and in the interests of my enquiry taking the form of open research, here are some relevant resources/examples. On a meta level, it was interesting what people suggested, which says something about their perspectives on the matter.

Since 2023, I've given several variations of my talk about open source hardware as a key component of open science. Here, I will share extra notes on what didn't fit in the talk, a transcript, further reading/resources, and a recording of the talk.

As part of the Data Lifeboat meeting I attended in November 2024, I'm jotting down some rough, high-level thoughts on what a good digital preservation workflow might be.

On 20 March 2024, I gave a talk at the Open Source for Innovation in Universities event titled “The critical role of open source in open research” (open source slides published to Zenodo). Like last time, it was informed by incredible feedback I received from various open research communities, especially Malvika of the Turing Way who first connected me to the organisers. There's extra stuff I couldn't fit into the talk, so I'm putting them here.

On 10 February 2024, I gave a lightning talk at FOSDEM 2024's Open Research Online Devroom titled “Representing epistemological and disciplinary diversity in open research discourse” (slides and video shared here). I later gave a tweaked version of this talk to introduce a UK Reproducibility Network online workshop on this topic on 31 March 2025.
