Open Scholarship
Advancing access, collaboration, and inclusion through Open Access, Open Data, Open Education, and Open Research.
What is open scholarship?
Open Scholarship (also called Open Science) makes research, data, teaching materials, and publications freely available. It removes barriers, builds trust, and strengthens collaboration by keeping knowledge transparent and accessible.
At MRU, we help you publish, share, and teach openly through repositories, publishing support, and open education services.
Open Access
Open Scholarship expands research access and impact by eliminating barriers. MRU supports open access through our Institutional Repository and Open Journal Hosting, where MRU research and scholarship can be made freely and immediately available. We also provide publishing support and consultations on author options, including Creative Commons licensing.
Open Education
Open education contributes to barrier-free academic resources accessible to all learners. By incorporating open educational resources (OER) into instruction, faculty help create a more equitable and sustainable model for education.
Open Data
Sharing research data and code (when ethical and appropriate) supports reproducibility, collaboration, and transparency. MRU provides services and infrastructure to support data sharing, including the MRU Data Repository.
Open Research
Transparency across the research process, including methods, peer review, and public engagement, builds trust and accelerates discovery. MRU supports open research practices throughout the full research lifecycle.
