GW4 Open Research Week - MORPHSS Presentation

Presentation given at the GW4 Open Research Week, Tuesday 21st April 11.00-12.00. Presenters: Miranda Barnes (University of Cambridge); Jenni Adams (University of Sheffield) - MORPHSS Team Part of a session shared with Stephen Gray (University of Bristol) looking at how open practices can bring particular benefits to the arts, humanities and social sciences, focusing on how two projects are investigating this in different ways. MORPHSS (Materialising Open Research Practices in the Humanities and Social Sciences) is a Research England, Wellcome Trust and AHRC-funded project with partners from the University of Cambridge Library, Cambridge Digital Humanities, Coventry University, the University of Sheffield and the University of Southampton. MORPHSS is devising ways to encourage and embed innovative open research practices within arts, humanities and social science disciplines. Their recently released report and catalogue put forth a more inclusive vision of what "open research" actually looks like in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, and how this might impact the institutional and policy landscape. The catalogue identifies 30 open research practices in AHSS and six key forms of openness, supporting a pluralistic vision of OR that is more representative of disciplinary practice.
