Global Research Equity

This course provides access to information about equitable approaches to scholarly publishing in international research groups and consortia. We will address questions around data ownership, ethical aspects in research planning, execution that lead to multiple possible pathways to disseminate the knowledge gained in an equitable and beneficial manner for all contributing parties involved. The Global Code for Research in resource-poor settings serves as a guiding principle as much as FAIR and CARE principles for data management and archiving. What are the affordable publishing workflows? Which Open Access repositories serve best the interest for equitable knowledge sharing to ensure maximum possibilities for knowledge transfer to the various stakeholders of society in a given research context while ensuring knowledge exchange also on a global level?
