# Resource library

> **Note:** These materials document the Turing's Research Community Management team's past practices. They remain open for RCMs and communities elsewhere to reuse, but review and adapt them before using them in an active project.

This library brings together reusable guides, reference material, and examples held elsewhere in this repository. The original files remain the canonical record.

## Project and community lifecycle

- [Research Community Manager offboarding checklist](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/offboarding/offboarding-checklist-rcm.md) supports handovers when a community manager leaves a continuing project or when a community closes.
- [Sunsetting a project](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/sunsetting/sunsetting-guide.md) outlines the team's draft approach to closing a project.
- The accompanying [sunsetting workflow](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/sunsetting/RCM-sunsetting.drawio.pdf) and [documentation audit issue template](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/SUNSETTING.md) support that process.

## Open research and recognition

- [Contributorship and authorship roles](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/open-science-frameworks/authorship-roles-CRediT.md) adapts the CRediT taxonomy to describe community-management responsibilities across research stages.
- [Implementing Open Science: Strategies, Experiences and Models](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/open-science-frameworks/ImplementingOpenScience-StrategiesExperiencesModels-ThematicReport-EC.pdf) is a reference report on open-science implementation.
- The [*The Turing Way* quick links](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/the-turing-way-core/quick-links.md) and [core-member roles](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/the-turing-way-core/roles-of-core-members.md) provide related community resources.

## Communication, training, and engagement

- [Video-making guidance](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/videos/README.md), [recording tips](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/videos/recording-tips.md), and the [PowerPoint recording guide](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/videos/how-to-record-powerpoint-windows.pdf) cover accessible recording and publishing.
- [Policy-engagement workshop resources](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/policy-engagement/README.md) collect links shared by the Institute for Government.
- [Presentations](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/tree/main/team-related-comms/presentations) document talks and workshops delivered by the team.

## Case studies and project examples

- [AIM-RSF Open Collaboration](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/team-related-comms/case-studies/2024-aim-rsf.md)

The [briefing notes](briefing-notes.md) provide further examples of individual projects and communities.

## Technical material

- [Homebrew installation on Apple Silicon](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/homebrew-applesilicon-installation-guide.md) is a historic technical setup guide.
- [Community-management word cloud data](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/blob/main/resources/wordcloud/cm-words.csv) is available as a CSV file.

## Impact evidence

- [Impact evidence and resources](impact-resources.md) lists the publications, talks, project repositories, policy contributions, and media behind the [impact of RCMs](impact.md).
