Laura, as project manager, will be responsible for managing the processes by which the project engages with end users, and feeds the information thus obtained back into the development work. Responsibility for monitoring each individual end user communication channel (eg Mendeley support systems, DSpace support systems, CARET support) will lie with the existing personnel responsible for those channels, who will be aware of the project and in close contact with the relevant project team members.
Laura will also be responsible for the dissemination plan, ensuring that others in the programme and beyond learn about the project's outputs and learnings, and that JISC stay up to date with the work so that they can support the project in sharing findings with the wider sector in appropriate ways.
Responsibility for the technical work packages is detailed in each work package below.
The formal agreements between the partner organisations will be the responsibility of John Norman at CARET.

Workplan timings
You can hone your technical writing skills by looking at the writing and presentation styles of previous thesis which were previously published. Once you have finished the final draft for your thesis writing, reread it to fine tune your work. See more here how to plan a project
