Dealing with Complexity: Supporting Research in a Competitive World

The research ecosystem is becoming more competitive, and institutions need to adapt their research environments to new realities that will separate good institutions from great ones. It's about not only competition but also complexity: researchers, librarians, administrators, managers, and funders all have a role in managing the life cycle. Data, technology, and brainpower are breaking the boundaries of domains and facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration. Designing the future environment will help ensure researchers and institutions remain successful in attracting investments, managing compliance, and increasing visibility.
