A new blog post from U. of Cambridge Office of Scholarly Communication:
https://unlockingresearch-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1943

"This blog post is part of the write-up of an investigation into the
background of people working in scholarly communication, with a
specific focus on skills."

"In late 2016 we conducted a survey to find out more about this issue.
We were slightly overwhelmed by the popularity of the survey which
gathered over 500 responses from people who self-identified as working
in scholarly communication which we defined as:

The process by which academics, scholars and researchers share and
publish their research findings with the wider academic community and
beyond. This includes, but is not limited to, areas such as open
access and open data, copyright, institutional repositories and
research data management."

You can read a summary of some of the findings from this research here

but we wanted to delve a little deeper and look at which skills
scholarly communication staff felt they needed and how they developed
them. This blog post looks at that question.
