蝌蚪窝视频

The University of 蝌蚪窝视频 is amongst the first recipients of a grant from UK Research & Innovation鈥檚 new Metascience Unit, which was launched 'to find better ways to conduct, distribute and fund research'. 

Metascience is the application of scientific methodology to study how research is undertaken. It is hoped that the approach will help to improve the quality and efficiency of UK research.

The successfully funded project at the University is on 鈥楽upporting Research and Researchers through the deployment of Digital Notebooks: A framework for implementation and impact.鈥� The research will follow both Cancer Research UK 蝌蚪窝视频 Institute鈥檚 implementation and The Research Lifecycle Programme鈥檚 deployment of digital notebooks across the University, and to evaluate the impact of targeted interventions across the various organisational scales.

Speaking about the project, principal investigator , Professor of Cognitive Science in the Department of Computer Science, said: 鈥淭his grant is an exciting investment in The University of 蝌蚪窝视频; recognising the importance of metascience. It will help us to demonstrate the benefits that digital notebooks can make to open, reproducible, and responsible research and provide other higher education institutions with a framework for implementation.鈥�

Co-Investigator, , Research Integrity and Training Adviser at the 蝌蚪窝视频 Institute, said: 鈥淭eams here are already starting to make use of digital notebooks to document their work. We're keen to see these powerful tools made accessible to researchers across the University to help support and grow open, reproducible and responsible research practices.鈥�

The Research Lifecycle Programme鈥檚 (RLP) project to deploy digital notebooks is currently engaging with academics and research technical professionals to gather functional requirements for any proposed notebook solutions, and to assess demand for integrated sample inventories. The needs of all schools and faculties are to be captured, to ascertain where functional diversity can be catered for.
