Workshop held as part of ETD2021 https://conferences.uaeu.ac.ae/etd2021/en/index.shtml on 15 November 2021 This workshop will explore different challenges to making ETDs openly available and how they can be used within an institution to engage with faculty in relation to open research practices. Example considerations include the use of third party copyright, whether a data management plan is required as part of the PhD research process and how the ethical approval process can be a natural point for considering and formalizing research integrity issues. Through these processes, universities have an opportunity to not only ensure the next generation of scholars are working with a high level of research integrity, but also to update the skills and knowledge of those who supervise PhD students.
