CIVICA RESEARCH – Open Science Discussion Forum: Postgrad research, a case study in diversity

Open Science Discussion Forum: Postgrad research, a case study in diversity

Applying Open Science practices to postgraduate research projects: A case study in diversity.

The movement towards Open Science has many research students asking, ‘how can I incorporate Open science methods into my Research Project, Dissertation or Thesis?’ In this session, LSE researchers Daniel Jolles and Nikita from LSE’s The Inclusion Initiative (TII) share their experiences of applying Open Science in their research projects. They discuss the pros (and cons) of Open Science practices for research students and how practices like replication, power-analysis and pre-registration can shape post-graduate research projects and open up research opportunities. In their theses, Daniel and Nikita have both focused on experimental approaches to hiring decisions, with Daniel’s focus on ‘age’ and Nikita on ‘caste’. Through these projects, they demonstrate how Open Science practices can be applied to help broaden research built on narrow definitions of diversity, and the steps they are taking together with the TII team to make their research projects more open and transparent.
