Open data & research practices in tourism research by Dr Yoo Ri Kim | SORT 2021 | Uni of Surrey

This Open Research case study was presented at the inaugural University of Surrey Open Research and Transparency Showcase (SORT) run in March 2021. The event showcased how Surrey researchers employ open, transparent, and reproducible approaches across departments and disciplines.
Open data and research have been increasingly encouraged in tourism and hospitality research. The research team at the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management demonstrates open research by using open data and making data and/or software codes openly accessible internally and externally. Using online tools and services, the research team was able to increase the transparency of the research processes and methodologies applied in tourism and hospitality research. This not only makes our research more accessible, transparent or reproducible but demonstrates rigour and the pathway to originality. Through this, it has opened up new collaborations both with academics and industry, ensuring both research rigour and impact more effectively and accessibly; embedding open research principles in teaching and learning has allowed our students to become more aware of the importance of transparency and accessibility of knowledge.
