To fully embrace and adopt Open Science principles, research institutions need dedicated professionals at the interface of research and society to empower the actors involved. In this poster we present the “Documentalists Working Group” in Catalonia as a use case of a bottom-up community of practice helping their centres to successfully ride the wave of Open Science. The “Documentalists Working Group” brings together professionals from ten Catalan research centres (BSC, CRG, IBEC, ICFO, ICIQ, ICN2, IDIBABS, IFAE, IRB Barcelona, IRTA) and is a community of practice on management of research output. The objective of this group is to define synergies in workflows in scientific publication and research data management, to tackle challenges through peer-to-peer learning, and consult experts jointly. We will also explore how Open Science devises new career paths for researchers and research related professionals following the demand for Open Science facilitators that (i) engage and train researchers to participate in Open Science practices, (ii) provide opportunities to collaborate with the society, (iii) support the development and implementation of new evaluation schemes, and (iv) provide access to needed infrastructure.
