Summary

Open Research is an organization that originated from Y Combinator and was responsible for conducting a long-term study on Universal Basic Income (UBI), which was funded by Sam Altman. The findings of this UBI study indicated that there was a minimal lasting positive impact, which then led to discussions about motivation, work ethic, and social safety nets. It operates as a nonprofit research organization with a startup mentality, focusing on open-ended questions and comprehensive data collection.

    Open research is research that is openly accessible by others. Those who publish research in this way are often concerned with making research more transparent, more collaborative, more wide-reaching, and more efficient. Open research aims to make both research methods and the resulting data freely available, often via the internet, in order to support reproducibility and, potentially, massively distributed research collaboration. In this regard, it is related to both open source software and [...] Most open research is conducted within existing research groups. Primary research data are posted which can be added to, or interpreted by, anyone who has the necessary expertise and who can therefore join the collaborative effort. Thus the "end product" of the project (which may still be subject to future expansion or modification) arises from many contributions across multiple research groups, rather than the effort of one group or individual. Open research is therefore distinct from open [...] Wiki-based examples include: Appropedia, Wikiversity, Citizendium, Scholarpedia. While first attempts towards opening research were primarily aimed at opening areas such as scientific data, methodologies, software and publications, now increasingly other artifacts of the scientific workflow are also tackled, such as scientific meta-data and funding ideas.

    About this tool(Opens in a new window) Skip to main content # Ensuring open research Open research, also widely referred to as open science, relates to how research is performed and how knowledge is shared based on the principle that research should be as open as possible. It also enables research to take advantage of digital technology. [...] Transparency, openness, verification and reproducibility are important features of research and innovation. Open research helps to support and uphold these features across the whole lifecycle of research – improving public value, research integrity, reuse and innovation. Open research also helps to support collaboration within and across disciplines. It is integral to a healthy research culture and environment. [...] All of this is underpinned by open research policies, practices and procedures that support those undertaking research. They raise awareness of expected standards and behaviours and promote wider systems changes for the benefit of the whole community. ## The role of UKRI Open research is integral to UKRI’s mission to deliver economic and social benefit. Accessible, transparent, reproducible and cooperative research:

  • What is open research? - University of Exeter

    Open research comprises openness throughout the research cycle, through collaborative working and sharing and making research methodology, software, code and equipment freely available online, along with instructions for using it. Open research includes making publications freely available online (open access), in addition to research data (open data). [...] Open access outputs have higher usage and more citations. Open access can help to build your research profile and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, in addition to increasing the visibility and impact of University of Exeter research.

    Skip to content # ### OpenResearch offers a new model in the world of research. Who we are ### OpenResearch is a nonprofit research organization with a startup mentality. Drawing on the strengths of traditional academic research and the creativity and problem-solving characteristics of startups, we ask big, open-ended questions and gather comprehensive data to fill pivotal knowledge gaps. ### OpenResearch’s Unconditional Cash Study [...] Our study utilizes a comprehensive mixed-method research design. We employ a mixed methods research design to understand the effects of unconditional cash transfers by simultaneously collecting both quantitative data from surveys, administrative records, and financial transactions (among other sources) and qualitative data from semi-structured, open-ended interviews with a subset of participants. [...] ### We pursue open-ended research and design tools that rise to the challenges of an evolving world—fostering deeper understanding and inspiring responses to the complex social and technological transformations of our time.
