Benefits of open research

Open research advances collaboration and interdisciplinary efforts and helps deliver on the commitment to open research underpinning UQ’s Research Roadmap.

Share your research outputs

By making research accessible to all, UQ aims to foster innovation, benefit researchers, and positively impact society. Sharing research outputs allows everyone to access and benefit from research publications, methodologies, software, data and code.

Preregister your research

Submit your research plan to a registry prior to starting your study to improve transparency and rigor.

Open access publishing

An open access workflow can increase the visibility of your research and help you comply with UQ and funder policies. Make your work openly accessible by depositing your eligible research outputs in UQ eSpace.

Open research data

Your research data may be suitable to make publicly available for access and reuse to enhance your research profile and encourage new collaborations.

Open software

Open research software can support your research tasks and workflows and improve efficiency and reproducibility.

Read and publish agreements

UQ Library supports open publishing through Read and Publish agreements that offer pre-paid and discounted Article Processing Charges.
