The open science movement is transforming academic libraries, requiring librarians to take on new roles, such as data management, open access, and reproducibility. However, the specific skills required to support open science remain unclear, making it challenging for both institutions and professionals to align expectations with evolving demands. This study analyzes job postings for open science librarians to identify the responsibilities and qualifications expected in the field.
