 Respondents frequently described occupying multiple roles—researcher, educator, developer, community facilitator—often simultaneously. This hybridity suggests that academic OSS work resists tidy categorization. Unlike conventional academic outputs, OSS requires a blend of technical, pedagogical, and organizational labor. However, this multiplicity is rarely acknowledged or rewarded within academic evaluation frameworks, which continue to privilege single-author publications and narrow conceptions of “impact.”
 
-This is not a new observation. As Vasileios Karagiannis and colleagues (2020) argue in their research on research software engineers (RSEs), institutional job structures often fail to reflect the complexity of roles involved in sustaining digital academic infrastructure. The result is a persistent “professional invisibility,” where essential contributors to research outputs are excluded from career progression pathways, authorship credits, or institutional investment.

 Similarly, Micah Altman and Mercè Crosas (2012), through their work on the Dataverse Project, have highlighted the critical importance of infrastructure stewardship in scholarly communication. Yet this type of work continues to be undervalued in metrics-driven academic cultures. Together, these studies affirm that the challenges uncovered in this survey reflect systemic patterns rather than isolated frustrations.

 ## General Description
 
-[CROSS](https://cross.ucsc.edu/index.html) is the research center that the [OSPO](https://ucsc-ospo.github.io/) is based in.  The OSPO at UC Santa Cruz is being established to provide a center of gravity that brings together everything needed to unlock that potential. The UCSC OSPO’s mission is to create partnerships with stakeholders within and outside the UC system to promote open source literacy and best practices, helping students learn from open source communities, letting scientists use open source to accelerate research efforts, and connecting students and scientists with sponsors from industry, government, and foundations.
