For open research to work, research institutions and publishers need to collaborate - LSE Impact The unique expertise of research institutions and publishers mean that any resolution to research integrity issues can only be achieved through collaboration.

👀ICYMI: "at times there may well be differing views both within and across stakeholder groups, but we need to make sure that the desire for consensus in a room doesn’t become an obstacle to a productive collaboration for the advancement of research"
