What Factors Lead to Success on Research Collaboration

Some Tales from the Frontline

What are the strategies and motives for research collaborations? Are there differences between “cosmopolitan” and “local” collaborators? What leads to bad or “nightmare” collaborations? What approaches do researchers use in dealing with severe problems? Do men and women choose different approaches in working with collaborators?

About the Seminar

December 09, 2014 8:30am

Focusing on a multiyear research program on the dynamics and effectiveness of academic researchers’ research collaborations, the presentation draws from interview and survey data to consider factors that lead to successes and failures. A general consideration is the extent to which collaboration enhances scientific productivity.  The presentation concludes with a few observations on ways in which researchers can manage research collaborations so as to improve effectiveness and minimize the likelihood of “nightmare” collaborations.
