ABOUT THE COMMUNITY

Open Science and open research practices are growing in Australia, but discovering Open reviewing, pre-prints, computational reproducibility etc. can feel like an isolating experience. This is a collective which aims to promote open practices at the University of Melbourne, to build a sense of community amongst people who might otherwise feel like the only open scientists they know. We aim to help you find like-minded folks, promote learning (not judgement), support efforts to reform institutional policies and practices, and educate others about open research practices. A founding node of this network at the University of Melbourne is the Interdisciplinary MetaResearch Group (IMeRG).
