    A 'Facebook' for research. A perspective on the changing role for information about research in the provision of research services
    PORTER, SIMON ( 2008)
    Anyone who has either worked in research administration or has been on the receiving end of it would probably agree that that the dynamic that between researchers and research administrators is similar to that between market researchers and the public. Market researchers have an inexhaustible need to find out what the public is thinking, and are constantly surveying, running focus groups, and otherwise poking and prodding the public to tell them what they need to know. Likewise, research administrators are constantly requesting information about research from researchers in endless cycles. (Often the atmosphere in which information is collected from researchers is as if a research administrator had called them up during dinner to ask them for their publications!) The perspective that research administrators and marketers share is that they are both on the outside looking in.

    Sustainable paths for data-intensive research communities at the University of Melbourne: a report for the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories
    SHADBOLT, ANNA ; VAN DER KNIJFF, DIRK ; YOUNG, EVE ; WINTON, LYLE ( 2006-08)
    In 2006 the University of Melbourne participated in an eResearch auditing project with the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories (APSR). The focus of this project was to look at the data management needs of a selection of data intensive research communities at the university. A multidisciplinary team within Information Services documented researcher community activity around research data management, storage and sustainability. Eleven research communities from diverse disciplines were selected including: Applied Economics; Astrophysics; Computer Science and Software Engineering; Education; Ethnography; Experimental Particle Physics; Humanities informatics; Hydrology and Environmental Engineering; Linguistics; Medical informatics; Neuroscience, and the Performing Arts. Project findings provided information about general sustainability issues of data management policies and practices at the university. Recommendations around ICT infrastructure and support needs of eResearchers were proposed for consideration by management.
