Recommendation 10
10
Paragraph: 72
Require universities to model reproducibility culture and implement protected research time policy
Recommendation
Research institutions should model a culture of reproducibility by managing inordinate pressures on academics and encouraging the prioritisation of reproducibility in research outputs. This extends to encouraging openness around mistakes and their correction. In collaboration with the Higher Education Sector, Universities UK should implement a coordinated policy on minimum protected research time for research staff.
