| Summary: | A scenario of increasing openness of science, which is broader and more complex, requires new competencies of repository managers. This study aims to identify the roles and competencies necessary for the management and organization of an institutional repository. It is a qualitative study with participant observation, supported by the literature review, which allowed us to reflect on the role of repository managers and the skills they must gather in the context of open science, having as a case study the General Study, the repository of the University of Coimbra. Although the functions of a repository manager originate in the field of Information Science, the set of skills to be gathered is broad and interdisciplinary, highlighting the skills in terms of scientific communication, digital technologies, management and communication, technical and content management. |
