In the final episode of this four-part series, our guests discuss navigating the adoption of open research policies at the library and how publishers can assist with this implementation. Jamie Hutchins, Director of Open Research, Americas at Taylor & Francis, Natya Hans, Informatics and Reproducibility Librarian in the Academic Research and Consulting Services Department at University of Florida, and Emily McElroy, Vice President of Academic Relations at Taylor & Francis, surface strategies like campus outreach, data training programs, and collaboration across departments. Further, Jamie, Natya, and Emily explain how open research initiatives can improve research integrity by building transparency and trust in research, potentially shifting the current competitive research culture to a more collaborative one. Closing with thoughts on “post-collections” librarianship, Jamie and Emily highlight the philosophical goals of library work and the importance of demonstrating its value to the institution.
