Teams that advance Open Research at Surrey

I have a PhD in Translation Studies from the University of Surrey. I worked jointly with my colleague, Christine Daoutis, on Open Access for 10 years, before taking on the joint role of Open Research manager. In my current role I am responsible for team management and strategy for all Open Research services, with a focus on infrastructure and open content.

Over the years I led the development of the e-theses policies and service, set up the OA publishing service (APCs), and delivered several infrastructure projects.

In my current role, I am excited to contribute to the transition to fairer OA publishing, and to help develop seamless infrastructure for Open Research.

I have a PhD in Psychology from the University of Surrey. I worked jointly with my colleague, Montserrat Rodriguez, on Open Access for 10 years, before taking on the joint role of Open Research manager.

In my current role I am responsible for team management and strategy for all Open Research services, with a focus on communications and training related to Open Research. I have particular expertise in copyright.

I am proud to have set up the very first OA repository and related policies at Surrey. Over the years I have had a personal interest in researcher training and was excited to develop the Open Research training module this year. The main focus in my current role is to forging relationships across the University that will shape open and transparent research.

After completing a sociology PhD in 2014, I entered the world of Open Research, first at University of Minnesota and now at Surrey. I provide advice and training on all things research data management (RDM) and open data.

I joined the Open Research team about two years ago, working in the specialist area of bibliometrics. I currently also work in the content team of the library handling e-resource queries and maintaining access to our online e-books, journals and databases.

I joined the library in November 2020. My focus is on Open Access including APCs, repository deposits and e-theses.

I joined the Open Research team in 2016. Since then, my main area of responsibility has been the processing of papers and e-theses submitted to the repository.

I have worked in libraries for over 20 years and enjoy working closely the Open Research team at Surrey to help and support academic and research staff and postgraduate research students with all aspects of the research lifecycle.

I hope to provide practical, straightforward advice and training to help researchers find, plan, publish, share and preserve their research. I am responsible for managing the Library’s academic support, managing the development of the Library’s resources collection and promoting and advocating for Open Research methods.

In my role as Academic Lead for Research Culture and Integrity, I seek to develop and promote a positive culture of research integrity and Open Research practice across the University, including acting as liaison with the UK Reproducibility Network.

I work with academics and professional services to develop and broaden understanding and awareness of Open Research and research integrity across the University. Together, we are working to further advance our research culture of excellence, openness and transparency.

In my own research, I pre-register my projects and openly share my data when possible.

I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow working on promoting the awareness and understanding of Open Research practices across the University.

I am particularly passionate about Registered Reports, having written the three empirical chapters of my PhD as Registered Reports.

I use the Open Science Framework (OSF) to share materials, data, scripts and lab logs, and prioritise submitting research to journals that select based on scientific validity rather than subjective impact.

I am a member of the Registered Reports Steering Committee, an Ambassador for the Centre for Open Science (COS), and part of the Preregistration Support Community.

I am a Doctoral Researcher in the field of Comparative Psychology.

In my role as Project Officer, I am working towards growing and embedding Open Research in institutional practice and culture. As an animal behaviour scientist, I am particularly interested in how Open Research practices can contribute to improved welfare of animals used in research. 

In my own work as a researcher, I share code and data via online repositories and submit research to journals that offer Open Access publishing.

I came to Open Research as part of my career in Open Access publishing. I’m particularly interested in how the widespread adoption of Open Research practices could further democratise academic discourse and knowledge production in the developing world.

My interest in Open Research has been motivated by the challenges associated with replicability and reproducibility in neurodevelopmental research. I support the Surrey Reproducibility Society (SRS) by writing the monthly newsletter, organising and advertising events. I am also a member of the Open Autism Research group.

As an early career researcher, I am deeply committed to Open Research by following those practices in different steps in my research and teaching. For instance, I publish most of my new studies as Registered Reports, use freeware for task design and data analysis to freely share my materials and codes, disseminate my research as preprints and Open Access papers, encourage open peer review as a reviewer and editor.

I have also delivered several talks and workshops of Open Research practices and recently edited a special issue on replication in numerical cognition. In my role as UKRN local network lead I promote reproducibility in research within the University of Surrey and in collaboration with the Open Research Working Group (ORWG), Surrey Open Researcher Community, and Surrey Reproducibility Society (SRS). I also organise ReproducibiliTea journal clubs at Surrey.
