We do this by investigating the factors that contribute to robust research, promoting training activities, and disseminating best practice. We also work collaboratively with various external stakeholders to ensure coordination of efforts across the sector. We seek to understand the factors that contribute to poor research reproducibility and replicability, and develop approaches to counter these, in order to improve the trustworthiness and quality of research. These issues affect all disciplines, so we aim for broad disciplinary representation. We believe that ongoing efforts to address these issues represent an opportunity to improve our research by reforming culture and practice. UKRN is coordinated by a Steering Group and supported by an Advisory Board, with representation across the UK through researcher-led local networks at several institutions, many of which have formally joined UKRN. Ensuring the UK remains a centre for world-leading research.  Multi-discipline UKRN works across disciplines, ranging from the arts and humanities to the physical sciences, with a particular focus on the biomedical sciences. U Meta-research UKRN supports research improvement through the study of research itself, and promoting evaluation of innovations to improve research quality.  Training support UKRN promotes training through the delivery of short courses, preparation of online materials and the coordination of virtual seminars and journal clubs.  Distributed network UKRN follows a distributed model where Local Networks can be supported by individuals acting as advocates for the work of UKRN, or formally by their institution. About UKRN UKRN is a peer-led consortium that aims to ensure the UK retains its place as a centre for world-leading research. It is led by Marcus Munafò (Bristol), Chris Chambers (Cardiff), Alexandra Collins (Imperial), Laura Fortunato (Oxford), Nicole Janz (Nottingham), and Malcolm MacLeod (Edinburgh).
