Staff Profile
Jack Burns
Open Research Co-ordinator
Background
I lead on the promotion and implementation of the University’s Research Publications and Copyright Policy supporting its integration into research and publishing workflows across the institution.
Based in Library Research Services, I work closely with researchers, administrators, and support teams to ensure alignment with open access requirements and funder mandates.
My work focuses on advancing open research practices, with particular expertise in rights retention, copyright in scholarly publishing, and navigating open access compliance. I am available to provide guidance, training, and tailored support to help researchers embed openness and transparency into their work.
