Opening the research lifecycle
Open research shows how research is done as well as what is done. The principles of open research apply to all stages of the research lifecycle; it really is an umbrella term.
You can embed open research practices at different stages of a project. The approach should be as open as possible, as closed as necessary. There are good reasons why some research will have to remain closed.
