*** Apologies for cross-posting*** Dear Colleagues, The JISC funded Research Communications Strategy (RCS) project, based at the Centre for Research Communications - University of Nottingham has now come to a close. The final outputs of the project are available at http://crc.nottingham.ac.uk/projects/rcs/index.php These outputs include consultancy reports on the following topics (available at http://crc.nottingham.ac.uk/projects/rcs/consultancyprojects.php): * Chemists and Economists knowledge, beliefs and behaviours surrounding OA (Data Analysis of survey results) * Further Exploration of the Views of Chemists and Economists * Social Networking Sites and their role in Scholarly Communication * Open Science (including filmed interview clips with advocates and practitioners) Other outputs include: * Quarterly reports * Discussion papers * Briefing papers * and more The Research Communications Strategy project was a JISC funded activity that worked to investigate and coordinate many of the emerging themes, ideas, and developments in the field of research communications at a strategic level. The work provided a new point of liaison between JISC and the research community in taking forward important scholarly communication developments. The project provided quarterly reports to JISC which looked at current and emerging issues in research communication at a strategic level. A second strand of the work looked at advocacy to academics as one of the key issues in the adoption of open access, and we worked to identify the significant concerns and barriers to cultural change and adoption of new research communication methods. Please feel free to use these resources to your benefit. We would also appreciate any feedback you would be willing to provide.
