Several researchers have studied Open Educational Resources (OER), exploring a wide variety of topics. These issues include theories about what is meant by open education, open pedagogy and the efficacy of OER implementation. In a study of trends in distance education, researchers found that OER was the most commonly used research keyword. [1]
Smith (2013) [2] suggests nine areas for OER research:
One method for approaching OER scholarship is the COUP framework for organizing efficacy research on OER created by Bliss, Hilton, Robinson, and Wiley (2013). In the COUP framework, research is focused on Cost, Outcomes, Use, and Perceptions. [4] A current list of articles that fit within the COUP framework is curated by the Open Education Group. [5] Several studies have indicated that significant cost savings for students take place when OER are adopted. Both faculty members and students ranked reduced cost as the biggest factor for their interest in adopting OER or willingness to continue using OER.

More research is needed to better examine how students are using OER.
These organizations conduct, support, and/or promote research in OER:
These journals frequently publish research in OER:
