title = "Working as a Health Research Information Specialist",
abstract = "Working with health research information is an evolving and specialised area of health data, information, and knowledge management. The individuals who perform these roles have been characterised as being an emerging third tribe, sitting between and complementing the research work of scientists and administrators. Their specialist information management work facilitates the research process, intersecting at many points and stages in the research lifecycle. A thorough knowledge of scientific research methods as well as information and knowledge management competencies are essential. The six research information specialist case studies described in this chapter have been selected to demonstrate the variety of the roles, types of work, and skillsets that are required.",
