As you've probably noticed, we are refactoring the repository so our current README doesn't make a lot of sense! In the meantime, this issue will act as a standin-README while we work on updating the repository. Please use this issue in lieu of an updated README.
What we're doing
This project was originally designed to provide support and services to members of the research community at the Alan Turing Institute who wished to embed open practices within their projects. Its first milestone was to run a survey of key stakeholders in the Turing Institute's community to better understand what open practices meant to them, why and how they felt their work would benefit from (or be impeded by) applying open practices, and to understand what barriers they face that make implementing open practices difficult.
In order to capitalise on the hard work undertaken here, the project will be reimagined into a generalised toolkit that any research organisation can use to help apply and embed open practices into their culture. This toolkit should include resources, templates and guidance to help an organisation assess their open practices culture, and build frameworks to encourage and support the practices they wish to grow.
