Investigating Open Scholarship and InclusivePractices in Higher Education

This project investigates the development of an online service that empowers individuals at higher education institutions to develop and deploy surveys that reveal how faculty, staff, and students at their institutions perceive open scholarship and inclusive practices. We believe that individuals at higher education institutions will be better able to understand and advocate for open and inclusive practices if they have an empirically based understanding of the beliefs, attitudes, and intentions around these issues held by students, faculty, and staff at their home institutions. Thus, our easily used online service will enable access to previously developed surveys, step by step procedures for building new surveys, expert advice, and peer support, thus providing guidance on how to easily adapt and deploy surveys provided by the service. The goal is to make this as easy as possible for non-experts at HE institutions.
