Open research involves actions at all stages of the research cycle to make the research process and outputs more transparent and accessible. Though a number of initiatives exist for researchers at PhD, post-doctoral and more senior levels, there remains a critical need for educational resources for research students at earlier career stages and across disciplines. The aim of the Principles and Practices of Open Research: Teaching, Research, Impact, and Learning (PaPOR TRaIL) project is to develop an open educational resource (OER) on the principles and practice of open research for undergraduate and master's students. In stage 1, interviews and surveys of students and supervisors are being conducted to explore students' and supervisors' knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of open research, in addition to needs and preferences for the content and delivery of the OER. Stage 2 involves development of the OER content and delivery, based on Stage 1 engagement and national and international guidance on best practice in conducting and teaching open research. In Stage 3, students and supervisors will evaluate the developed OER and provide feedback in terms of OER usability, learning experience and learning outcomes. This feedback will guide revisions and finalisation of the OER content, format and learning activities. The PaPOR TRaIL project will develop an evidence-based OER that provides a foundation in all aspects of open research theory & practice. Teaching undergraduate and master's students open research will promote development of core research values and equip them with transferable competencies and skills, including how to conduct and use research in a trustworthy and ethical manner within and beyond academia. Enhancing teaching and learning of open research will promote better teaching and research outcomes that will benefit individuals, universities, and science more broadly.
开放研究涉及研究周期各个阶段的行动，以使研究过程和成果更加透明且易于获取。尽管针对博士、博士后及更高级别的研究人员已有多项举措，但对于处于职业生涯早期且跨学科的研究生而言，教育资源仍存在迫切需求。“开放研究的原则与实践：教学、研究、影响及学习”（PaPOR TRaIL）项目的目标是为本科生和硕士生开发一个关于开放研究原则与实践的开放教育资源（OER）。在第一阶段，正在对学生和导师进行访谈与调查，以探究学生和导师对开放研究的知识、态度和经验，以及对OER内容和交付方式的需求与偏好。第二阶段是基于第一阶段的参与情况以及国内外关于开展和教授开放研究最佳实践的指导意见，开发OER的内容和交付方式。在第三阶段，学生和导师将对已开发的OER进行评估，并就OER的可用性、学习体验和学习成果提供反馈。这些反馈将指导OER内容、形式和学习活动的修订与定稿。PaPOR TRaIL项目将开发一个基于证据的OER，为开放研究理论与实践的各个方面奠定基础。向本科生和硕士生教授开放研究将促进核心研究价值观的发展，并使他们具备可转移的能力和技能，包括如何在学术界内外以可信且符合道德的方式开展和使用研究。加强开放研究的教学与学习将促进更好的教学和研究成果，这将更广泛地造福个人、大学和科学界。
