Using open research practises to celebrate Team Science - A technician's viewpoint

Abstract

Open research practices are most often framed from an academic perspective. This talk provided a viewpoint from a technician working within a core facility. It reflected on some of the difficulties of incorporating Open Research in to practice when ‘ownership’ of data and protocols can be contested. It highlighted how we can use open research practice to celebrate the role of technicians within Team Science and help support the ‘Technician Commitment’ four target areas of technician visibility, recognition, career development and the future sustainability of technical skills and knowledge.
