Report outlining key findings of an Open Research survey conducted at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine between June – September 2022. The survey was performed to determine current awareness and application of open research practices among LSHTM researchers and support needs that should be addressed to enable greater adoption in the future. This covered ten open research practices – preregistration, registered reports, research co-production, research verification, preprint sharing, open peer review, sharing of public engagement literature, code sharing, Computer Assisted Design sharing, and sharing of physical materials. Topics covered include current familiarity with and application of open research practices, motivations for applying open practices, intent to apply practices in future research, barriers and concerns, and training needs.

Description of data capture	The LSHTM Open Research Survey 2022 was conducted by Gareth Knight (LSHTM Research Data Manager) in the LSHTM Library, Archive & Open Research Services, with input from the LSHTM Open Science Working Group. The survey question list was developed through a review of similar surveys performed by academic organisations related to open science, open research, and open scholarship. The first survey iteration was trialled by the LSHTM Open Science Working Group and 15 LSHTM staff located in in London, Uganda, and Gambia. Updates were made based upon feedback provided. The survey was delivered using JISC Online Surveys and promoted via faculty/department newsletters, internal mailing lists and LSHTM-wide groups (Yammer). In addition, LSHTM Head of Faculty/Department/Units were asked to distribute the survey to staff within their unit, OSWG members were asked to promote the survey within their groups, and LSHTM authors with data/code recorded in the LSHTM Data Compass repository were contacted and invited to participate.
