Abstract
In the ever-evolving realm of research management and administration (RMA), the imperative for nurturing researcher capacity has never been more pronounced (Aithal & Aithal, 2023). As the expectations placed upon researchers continue to grow, the need to strike a delicate balance between research productivity and impact becomes increasingly paramount (Alade et al., 2024). As the research landscape undergoes rapid transformation propelled by technological advancements and shifting societal priorities, opportunities abound for RMAs to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of inquiry and innovation. This editorial explores three key factors reshaping the research landscape and their implications for researcher capacity development. We also explore vital opportunities emerging from the intersection of the 4th Industrial Revolution, eResearch/Metaverse, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), presenting avenues for enhancing the support provided by RMAs to researchers. As RMA as a discipline evolves and matures, the need to stay relevant and demonstrate value becomes increasingly critical.
