Talk: Enhancing searchability – archiving practice research

I’ll be a panellist at the following discussion surrounding the sharing and preservation of practice research, hosted by the UK Reproducibility Network on Monday 15 November 2021. Link here: https://www.ukrn.org/event/enhancing-searchability/

Here is an outline of what the workshop will be about:

This workshop will deal with some of the challenges and issues involved with documenting and archiving practice research. Some of the questions this panel will aim to address include:

- How can we ensure that practice research is fully searchable and visible in the public domain?

- Are university repositories able to host the research findings of practice research projects run within, or in collaboration with, universities in the UK?

- What kinds of practices can we design and share that allow for the most effective and efficient means of sharing the research findings of work in this area?

- How do we consider the ways in which disciplinary differences warrant different considerations in devising systems (technological or otherwise) for archiving and disseminating practice research?
