London Open Science & Scholarship Festival 2026: Open Research: the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Perspective
Researchers in the arts, humanities and social sciences create and/or collect a range of diverse processes and outputs, including so-called ‘traditional’ and ‘non-traditional’ research outputs (NTRO). The latter is often the main mechanism for sharing in some disciplines who use creative practice methods. In the first half of this session we will hear from two teams considering open research practices in the arts, humanities and social sciences; and from the team leading a national project to inform more inclusive research evaluation practices, and who are thinking about how these ‘NTRO-centric’ disciplines can inform this work. In the second half of the session we will hear from some of AHRC’s infrastructure for Digital Arts and Humanities (iDAH) data services and programmes about how they are supporting and enabling researchers to share their research data.

Item type:Presentation, UKRN Special Interest Group in Arts Research: A Community Approach to Open Research in AHSS(2026-04-24) ;Jola, CorinneGonnet, HenryThis presentation includes a brief introduction to UKRN’s Special interest Group in Arts Research (SiG Art). SiG ART is a growing community of research practitioners and professional services staff involved in arts and interdisciplinary research across the UK. In arts research, knowledge is often embedded in process, interpretation, and storytelling, elements that have remained under-recognised in mainstream Open Science Research frameworks. We provide a space to share best practice, discuss challenges, and explore approaches to Open Research in a landscape often shaped by the sciences and so-called ‘traditional research outputs’. The presentation reflects on our activities over the past 12 months and beyond. We conclude by suggesting that arts research practices offer Open Research approaches that are relevant across disciplines, including STEM. The arts can thus actively contribute to shaping Open Research practices. We invite the audience to engage with us and contribute to this ongoing process.3
