Summary:
Research is one of the key activities which we undertake here at the School, and whilst the work that we do positively impacts patients lives directly, it also allows us to add to the vast range of academic literature out there which is related to our wide range of research themes. But, how does this research get out there, and is it all freely accessible so that other researchers and scientists can make the most of what we do to help them in what they do?

In this episode of PharmaCast, Dr Dan Corbett is joined by Dr. Michael O'Connor (Research Data Librarian), Rebecca Clarke (Open Research Librarian), and Dr Sheiliza Carmali (Lecturer, School of Pharmacy), from Queen's University Belfast, as well as by Dr Jonny Coates, Associate Director at ASAPbio, who discuss how research publications make their way out into the world, and what is being done to make these more openly accessible, including via the publication of pre-prints!
