Open research cycle

This is a detailed customizable checklist of open research practices placed along the research cycle, used as part of the Switch to Open Program (SwOP) of the LMU Open Science Center. The SwOP is a tailored consultation for research groups during which, over the course of a few months, all team members learn to adopt open research practices and write a standard practices guide for the lab. A tailored version of this figure is used in the lab handbook, and as a print to prompt memory for each project. Typically, team members are expected to do the tasks in the white boxes, before the checkpoints with the rest of the group (colored boxes).
