“…Meta-research has identified the extent to which researchers engage with Open Research across different disciplines (Cashin et al, 2021;Christensen et al, 2019;Hardwicke et al, 2021;Norris et al, 2021Wallach et al, 2018). There have also been various questionnaire measures developed to assess Open Research behaviours within countries (Baždarić et al, 2021;Pardo Martínez & Poveda, 2018), specific disciplines (Abele-Brehm et al, 2019;Bakker et al, 2022;Bowman et al, 2021;Houtkoop et al, 2018), institutions (University of Glasgow, 2021) or academic status groups (Toribio-Flórez et al, 2021). However, there is no openly available, brief and standardised questionnaire to assess awareness, uptake, and support of Open Research behaviours within and across institutions and countries.…”

Objectives: A need for Open Research practices exists, yet there remains a lack of validated questionnaires to assess Open Research practices. The study aimed to develop a brief (<5 minutes), standardised questionnaire to measure Open Research awareness and engagement across UK institutions.Methods: The Brief Open Research Survey (BORS) was developed in six steps: 1) a scoping exercise collated previous questionnaires on Open Research, 2) a brief questionnaire was developed, 3) peer-reviewed, 4) piloted, 5) revised, and 6) the final questionnaire was distributed across UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) local networks.Results: Respondents across thirty-five UKRN local networks participated (n = 1,274). Respondents were most aware of Open Access publications (94.1%) and also used them the most (76.5%). They were least aware of Registered Reports (38.1%) and also used them the least (8.3%). Respondents reported that incentives (51%), dedicated funding (46.2%), and recognition in promotion and recruitment criteria (39.6%) would help them embed Open Research.Conclusion: Although various Open Research initiatives exist, there remains a disconnect between awareness and implementation. Support from funders and institutions is required to increase Open Research. The Brief Open Research Survey can be used to track uptake over time and adapted to measure Open Research globally.
