The Good Research Practice Roadmap

A roadmap of good research practice with three
stages: Planning (research design, writing plans, networking), Doing (handling the unexpected, data analysis, data
collection and storage, document research), and Disseminating (good reporting, data sharing, generating impact). Core
themes include research culture, skills development, ethics, and open research. — Good Research Practice Roadmap

Welcome to the Good Research Practice (GRP) Roadmap. As researchers, it is our responsibility to follow good research practices, which hugely benefit our work and research careers.

This ensures our research is transparent, high quality, ethical, and impactful. As integrating GRPs can at times be challenging, this roadmap is designed to help researchers (particularly early-career researchers) consider how to implement these practices at every stage – planning, doing and disseminating – of their research.

It outlines core themes relevant throughout your research journey, along with themes specific to each project phase. This roadmap is extensive, covering many topics and signposting to many resources.

Please remember that you are not expected to tackle everything at once, but rather to refer to it as needed, with this roadmap acting as a companion to support your journey into good practice.
