Research Practice Training

Where to find training and support for Research Practice

Research Practice deals with all aspects of the research life cycle. Better research practice means that research will be more transparent, verifiable, reproducible, ethical, and reliable.

To support researchers in understanding and developing their research practice, we have created a set of short, e-learning modules on topics in research practice. These are free to take, and provide an understanding of the "what" and "why" of research practice. They also link to other resources to provide more training and detail about research practice in specific domains or using different tools.

These training modules supplement the introductory online research integrity training that is compulsory for all researchers (staff and students) at Oxford every 3 years. Online research integrity training is available to all University staff and students via the course booking system CoSy.
