Project Details
Description
This ESRC Impact Acceleration Account (ESRC IAA) funding supports a new project titled: Open Accessible Summaries in Language Studies (OASIS) which aims to make research findings accessible to everyone.
In close collaboration with a wide network of language education professionals and journal editors, we will:
1) establish a sustainable, systematic, international, cross-journal mechanisms for creating one-page, non-technical, openly accessible summaries of second language research studies;
2) develop a searchable user-friendly OASIS platform within IRIS for hosting the summaries and linking them to materials on IRIS, accessed via high-profile portals from external partners;
3) develop materials and deliver workshops to engage language education professionals with the summaries and monitor engagement and usage.
At the cutting edge of open science, this project will provide a step-change on an international scale in engagement with research.
