Anthony Haynes writes: It was a treat for this episode to be able to interview Rob Johnson, founder and Managing Director of Research Consulting Ltd. RC is a long-established organisation dedicated to improving the effectiveness and impact of research and scholarly communication.
Rob and his colleagues have worked on a vast range of projects with a variety of stakeholders, including funding agencies, universities, learned societies, and, increasingly, publishers. This wide-ranging interview provides a multitude of insights into all things grey - including the changing landscape (including open access), genres ((including reports and alternatives to them), and the process of co-creation.
In particular, Rob provides guidance on such topics as metadata and infrastructure, sustainability of publications, the marketing and promotion of research comms, and the crucial role in communication behaviours of incentives.
