The badge earner has completed the workshop 'Responsible Research Metrics' delivered as part of the UKRN Open Research Programme and has met all completion criteria. Responsible Research Metrics promote an equitable approach to assessing research outputs. They avoid the promotion of negative practices, acknowledge disciplinary differences, and provide context for a role or output. This course supports attendees in adapting an exiting, asynchronous learning module in Responsible Research Metrics to promote good practice at their own institutions.

The UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) is a national peer-led consortium that aims to ensure the UK retains its place as a centre for world-leading research. We do this by investigating the factors that contribute to robust research, promoting training activities, and disseminating best practice. We also work collaboratively with various external stakeholders to ensure coordination of efforts across the sector.

We seek to understand the factors that contribute to poor research reproducibility and replicability, and develop approaches to counter these, in order to improve the trustworthiness and quality of research. These issues affect all disciplines, so we aim for broad disciplinary representation. We believe that ongoing efforts to address these issues represent an opportunity to improve our research by reforming culture and practice.
