Welcome to the Climate Compatible Growth Curation Guidelines.

On this site, you can browse guidelines on “good enough” Practices that implement the goals of Open Science.

We also provide a description of how the practices can be applied to a range of Research Outputs.

Good Enough Practices

  • Attribution

    As research moves towards larger teams of contributors, all the people involved in the collaborative process of research process must be acknowledged.

  • Licensing

    A license clarifies what are the permitted uses of the work by other parties and rights of the author and user.

  • Metadata

    Metadata makes it possible for others to find your research, understand if they can use it, and then reference your work in their publications.

  • Pre-registration of research protocols

    Pre-registration makes a study less susceptible to bias, helps plan the research and provides an opportunity for peer feedback on the approach.

  • Referencing

    Referencing is a formal process of acknowledging all sources of information or work from other authors that you used when creating any original material.

  • Release

    A release process identifies a specific instance of a piece of continually updated software, data, tool or method and makes that instance findable and accessible.

  • Version Control

    Version Control Systems record a history of changes to source code, data, or other text-based material enabling collaboration between distributed teams of researchers.

  • Workflow

    A computational workflow records the automated steps to transform data and code into research outputs.

Research Outputs

  • Blog Posts, Newsletters & Social Media

    Open and reproducible research can benefit from being communicated to a broad audience through social media, blog posts and newsletters.

  • Briefings

    Briefings are short and accessible knowledge outputs that condense science into key messages and are used by a specific target audience. An example of this is a policy brief which summarises key messages relevant for policy makers.

  • Data

    Data can assume a wide range of types, including numerical data, text, audio and images, and form a fundamental resource for many research projects. Data are also a valuable research output in their own right, given the time taken in many research projects to find, collate and curate data.

  • Reports and Working Papers

    Reports communicate final research findings to different policy end-users or even general audiences. Working papers are unreviewed live documents that are shorter than reports, and have a similar structure to a scientific article.

  • Software

    Scientific software can be published openly to allow others to reproduce your work, extend and build upon your code, and identify bugs or enhancements.

  • Teaching material

    Teaching material consists of text, presentations, media and exercises developed within the context of higher education courses and training programs.
