5 Tips for Practicing Open Science in Your Research

Dear researchers,

Open Science practices can be applied throughout the research lifecycle. Below are five tips to help you make your research more accessible, visible, and credible.
Icon
 

Pre-register your research
 
Before you start your research, you can pre-register your research design, hypotheses, data collection procedures, and analysis plans in a public repository. This boosts research quality and transparency by showing others any changes from the original plan in the final published study.

Share your research data
 
Sharing your data allows others to replicate your studies and validate your results. It also enables the reuse of your data and increases the visibility of your research. You may deposit your data in a disciplinary repository or our institutional data repository, HKU DataHub.

Benefit from open peer review
 
Traditionally, reviewers and/or authors remain "blind" to each other. Open peer review offers alternatives that increase transparency and accountability in research. Examples include publishing reviewer reports, revealing reviewer identities, and allowing community participation in the review process.

Publish your research Open Access
 
You may publish your articles in open access so readers can access your work for free. However, some journals may charge you a fee, known as Article Processing Charge (APC). The Libraries’ transformative agreements allow HKU authors to make their research openly accessible without the need to pay APCs in eligible journals.

Self-archive your research
 
Alternatively, you may self-archive a version of your article (preprint, postprint, or published version) into your personal web page, departmental web page, or our institutional repository, HKU Scholars Hub. You should check the publishers’ policies, for example the version of the publication and embargo period.
