This document summarizes a presentation on the need for a modern curriculum to teach research skills to students. It argues that current training focuses more on teaching and learning but not research practice. A modern curriculum is needed to define and standardize the skills required for research. Libraries are well-positioned to help develop such a curriculum since they already provide much of the training on skills like scholarly communication. Developing a standardized framework of research skills would help libraries and others consistently teach the practices needed for success in research.

- 2. Modern Curriculum? • Do we teach our research students the skills they need to succeed as a researcher? • Do we even know what those skills are? • Do we indeed need a ‘modern curriculum’ for this purpose? This talk is arguing YES. But what has this got to do with the library community?

Expanding body of work – UK & US US study (2020) “…formal training on scholarly communication topics in LIS is rare, leaving many early career practitioners underprepared for their work. …” US study (2020) “scholarly communications librarians experience impostor phenomenon more frequently and intensely than academic librarians more broadly” https://shsu-ir.tdl.org/handle/20.500.11875/2866 https://jlsc-pub.org/articles/abstract/10.7710/2162- 3309.2328/ https://unlockingresearch-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1313 UK study (2016) hypothesis: “there is a systematic lack of education on scholarly communication issues available to those entering the library profession. This is creating a time bomb skills gap in the academic library profession and unless action is taken we may well end up with a workforce not suited to work in the 21st century research library.”
- 20. New services = new roles & new skills https://www.liberquarterly.eu/articles/10.18352/lq.10336/ Finland (2020) It soon became evident that open science would require an expansion of traditional library services and the adoption of new roles. The development of new open science and research support services, infrastructures and tools would also require qualifications beyond those of traditional library skills The skills required of people working in libraries in institutions that *produce* information as well as *consuming* it are different.

- 23. It’s time to elucidate and embed this • We need to move beyond the provision of researcher scholarly communication training being dependent on the local skills of the library community • We need an agreed framework/skeleton for this area that standardises the teaching of ‘research practice’ • This will assist the development of courses but also define the skills and knowledge of the people delivering the material. • We started with engagement, then moved to enablement. Now we need to elucidate and embed this practice in the research process.
- 26. The cords that bind This issue reaches beyond the library, and is an opportunity to engage with colleagues in the research office and beyond and bind the cords of community groups such as: • Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) https://www.caul.edu.au/ • Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) https://ardc.edu.au/collaborations/skilled-workforce/ • Open Access Australasia https://oaaustralasia.org/ • Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science (AIMOS) https://aimos.community/ • Australian & NZ Open Research Network (ANZORN) https://www.anzopenresearch.org/ • NHMRC Research Quality Steering Committee https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/research-policy/research- quality-steering-committee • Australasian Research Management Society (ARMS) https://www.researchmanagement.org.au/ • Others… We cannot enable a modern curriculum until we identify one, and this poses an opportunity for libraries to lead our sector towards a more strategic coherent and successful future.
