Dear, D. V. (2010). How much difference can current policy make to professional contract researchers?. http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/229607
Abstract
This article explores the role of the professional contract researcher in higher
education. The factors which have led to the need for directed policy growth,
the perceived consequences of these policies and the shortfalls of policy in
practice. It begins by exploring the questions who are researchers, where do
they work and what are their problems? It will then go on to describe the
current policies targeting this cohort and highlight areas of policy which are
expected to address some of the issues of concern. It will then identify areas
where policy may continue to fall short in practice and address ways in which
these gaps may be filled
