Sage Publications Sage Handbook of Research Management - Sage Publications

Transitioning from an individual scholar to a research leader presents unique challenges. The SAGE Handbook of Research Management serves as a specialized tool designed for newly promoted research leaders in the social sciences and humanities. As large-scale projects become more common within centers, institutes, and programs, the need for effective management skills grows. This handbook addresses the shift from academic research to organizational leadership. It provides guidance for those responsible for the professional development of team members and the management of complex interactions with university administrations and external stakeholders. While many scientific and technological disciplines have long established management practices, this resource fills a gap for researchers navigating these new administrative responsibilities. It is an essential resource for anyone moving into roles that require balancing academic excellence with the demands of leadership and institutional coordination.
