An Open Research Conversation at the University of Sheffield, part of Open Access Week 2024

While making journal and monograph publications open access is an important step in the democratisation of knowledge, the question remains: to what extent are these outputs, created in the often arcane discourses through which we communicate as researchers, genuinely accessible to the broader public?In this Open Research Conversation, we explore the work of colleagues who have gone beyond merely making their research publications open, instead pursuing the open dissemination of research in ways that are genuinely accessible beyond the university or research institute.Three speakers from the University of Sheffield’s research community - <a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/socstudies/people/research-students/monika-fratczak" title="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/socstudies/people/research-students/monika-fratczak" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Monika Fratczak</a> (Sociological Studies), <a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/is/people/academic/susan-oman" title="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/is/people/academic/susan-oman" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Susan Oman</a> (Centre for Machine Intelligence), and <a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/smph/andy-tattersall" title="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/smph/andy-tattersall" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Andy Tattersall</a> (School of Medicine and Population Health) - will explore the importance of outputs including blog posts, animations and podcasts in the open communication of research.
