Enhancing Research Collaboration Effectiveness by Prof. Barry Bozeman, Arizona State University

Drawing from data from more than a decade of NSF-sponsored work on research collaboration dynamics, the implications of the research are examined to determine factors related to effective collaboration, at the individual level, on research teams. Results from more than 100 semi-structured interviews and from more than 1,000 questionnaire responses are examined to determine the relationship of a variety of factors to research collaboration effectiveness. A first question is simply the incidence of effective vs. ineffective collaboration and, especially, “nightmare collaborations” where the outcomes go very wrong in terms of intellectual property disputes, on-going legal controversies, career damage and exploitation. On the more positive side, empirically based strategies are identified that enhance the effectiveness of research collaboration. Particular attention is given to collaboration strategies, team crediting and decision-making dynamics, role specialization, and the gender dynamics of collaboration.
