The virtues of openly sharing your research instruments: Peruvian uptake of SP4 work
Prof Pedro Mendoza-Arana, Chair of the Health Systems Research Group (SYSTEMIC) in the Public Health Department at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima, Peru recently informed the ROER4D Network Hub team that he and two colleagues used the research instruments developed by Sub-project 4 researchers Glenda Cox and Henry Trotter. They became aware of SP4’s research instruments last year when these were made available openly on the DataFirst platform. Now, a year later, they have shared the results of their work (on OER within their medical faculty) with the SP4 researchers. They also approached us for and were given advice on where to possibly publish their research paper in an Open Access journal. We wish them the best with their important work!
