Creating and maintaining high‐performing collaborative research teams: the importance of diversity and interpersonal skills
Open accessAbstract
Collaborative research teams are a necessary and desirable component of most scientific endeavors. We call such collaborations "high‐performing collaborative research teams". We share lessons learned from our collective experience and structure those lessons within a framework developed from literature in business, education, and the new discipline, "science of team science". We propose that high‐performing collaborative research teams are created and maintained when team diversity is effectively fostered and interpersonal skills are taught and practiced.

A collaborative research team with members who have low interpersonal skills is more likely to experience tensions that require time negotiating relationships rather than conducting ecological research.

The sections “Exploring fundamental assumptions about the scientific process” and “An analysis of the philosophical aspects of cross-disciplinary research” describe philosophical roots of cross-disciplinary challenges and say the literature underemphasizes examining them. “The challenges of cross-disciplinary research” acknowledges challenges in single-discipline collaboration, and “Disciplinary collaboration” gives empirical and theoretical emphases as examples. The paper does not say that many of the challenges themselves have been overlooked; its narrower point is that their underlying assumptions receive too little attention. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-09-28.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-09-28.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
