In publication and authorship, as in all other aspects of research, researchers are expected to follow the principles of good research conduct supported by the University, including best practice in publications.
Making your publications 'Open Access' is increasingly important, as it improves the visibility of your work. In addition, many funding bodies require grant holders to make their publications open access.
Managing your research data effectively is important so that you can create, collect and use data effectively; ensure your data is safely backed up and preserved for the future; make sure your data is available to others (which in some cases may be required by your funder)
