Research practice training and guidance
Where to find training, support, and guidance 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 (SSO required) that is compulsory for all researchers (staff and students) at Oxford every 3 years. Online mandatory research integrity training is available to all University staff and students via the course booking system CoSy (SSO required).
- Research Integrity: core course (SSO required)
- Research Integrity: refresher course (for experienced researchers - SSO required)
The Research Practice modules are available for Oxford users via Canvas (SSO required). The modules are:
- Research design (coming soon)
Information about the Research Practice training modules can also be found on the Research Practice Training OxIntranet page (SSO required).
Guidance on Research Practice
Research Practice covers the whole research lifecycle. The Research Practice Guidance page and Compliance checklist (SSO required) provides information about what actions are recommended at which stage of the research lifecycle.
