Open Scholarship Team
SFU's Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology is leading the implementation of SFU’s Open Science and Open Scholarship Principles by working with experts and growing the open scholarship community at SFU.
In partnership with the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute, the initiative involves creating and carrying out an implementation plan to support SFU faculty, staff and students in integrating open scholarship practices into their projects from start to finish.
The initiative has brought together many researchers at SFU, including faculty, staff and students. It includes SFU research leadership, as well as external partners and the broader SFU research community.
