Scholarly Communication
The Office of Scholarly Communication is supported by a diverse and talented team. The team is mainly librarians from other departments who volunteer on the Scholarly Communication (SC) Committee. The team is led by Sarah Norris.

Sarah Norris
- Scholarly Communication Librarian
- sarah.norris@ucf.edu
We maintain a wide range of services and projects in order to meet our goals. The projects are supported by the SC Committee’s subgroups called work groups. The Research Lifecycle (RLC) model was originally created by the RLC Committee, but is now updated by the RLC work group.
Goals
- Collaborate with other campus units to provide a suite of campus-wide services.
- Advocate for the infrastructure, staffing, publishing funds, and services.
- Educate and facilitate discussions about the changing scholarly communication environment, including the move to open access and sustainable publishing and exploring new ways to create, disseminate, evaluate, and preserve research and scholarly outputs at the university.
