User:OAnick

I'm Nick Sheppard. I work at the University of Leeds as Open Research Advisor. Previously I was Research Services Advisor at Leeds Beckett University and have also served as Technical Officer for the UK Council of Research Repositories.

I am interested in effective dissemination of research through sustainable models of open access, including underlying data, and potential synergies with open education and Open Educational Resources (OER), particularly underlying technology, software and interoperability of systems. I was the UK Wikimedian of the Year 2023.
