About the ResearchOps Community
If the mission for ResearchOps is to help researchers do their best work, then the mission of the ResearchOps Community is to help research operations people know just how to do that.
In effect, we research the researchers. We talk about and influence the development of tools, repositories, guidelines and templates. Discussing what makes the best lab, what kinds of spaces researchers need to do their work, how to do the best recruitment.
We’re a vibrant, global Community centred around our Slack which is carefully tended and managed by a team of committed board members and organisers of our global projects.
ResearchOps is the people, mechanisms, and strategies that set user research in motion. It provides the roles, tools and processes needed to support researchers in delivering and scaling the impact of the craft across an organisation.

Rules of Conduct
Being a community requires a commitment to being respectful of our incredibly diverse and global Community. We have a public Community Guidelines document that includes a Code of Conduct.
Impressively, the community is actually just warm, collegiate and inclusive all by itself. When it isn’t, the Cheese Board are ready to help (better yet, because of the global nature of the group, there’s always one of us on hand, should you need anything).
Outside the Slack, you can contact us at teamreops@gmail.com
There’s a small waitlist as we like to bring new people into the community as a cohort. This way, we have a chance to get to know you and say hi without getting lost in all our chatter.
The wait is not often longer than 4 weeks, and in the meantime, you can keep up-to-date with us on our Medium articles and other social accounts.
Community Talks
The wonderful thing about all the work we do together, is that people like to ask us to talk about it!
