Hello all,

The latest Unlocking Research blog discusses the results of a study done at 
Cambridge University towards the end of 2013 that looked at how the University 
could meet the compliance requirements of the RCUK open access policy. Recently 
the person who led the project, involving in depth interviews and ‘shadowing’ 
of academics during their work day, came to speak to members of the libraries 
at Cambridge and this blog summarises that talk. 

As well as links to several useful ‘day in the life’ graphics (included in the 
blog), the information included interesting facts like:

Academics wear many hats - often juggling many jobs at once
They have about 20 minutes at any given time to devote to a particular project
Running a research group is like running a small company while remaining 
research active
There are no natural touch points with the University during the publication 
process
For more insights please read:
