There are increasingly more publications about management of core facilities, and much of applies to the core facilities also applies to other research infrastructures – data service teams, service platforms or partially also big infrastructures. The knowledge is not standardised yet, its scope not defined, but the community is shaping itself and the profession of the research infrastructure scientist.
