Open researcher: resources for researcher developers
Pointing researchers to our pages in this section could help them to consider which skills are important for the open researcher and how open research can benefit their career.
Your feedback please! the highlighted areas on the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) image on our open researcher skills page are our first draft for an open research lens on the RDF. We’d love to hear your thoughts on whether we’ve chosen the right areas of knowledge, behaviours and skill for this lens. Join the discussion on the Vitae Member Community on this discussion thread.
Other RDF lenses with relevance to open research:
Here are a few links we think you might also find useful:
