Klappentext

"At long last, a book addressing the reality of modern collaborative research science with all that this implies for diversity, credit, and reputation. The Strength in Numbers is a necessary corrective to the dominant myth of solitary creativity and its numerous, retrograde institutional manifestations. Think of it as a self-help book full of useful insights and suggestions for researchers and administrators waking up to collective intelligence."--David C. Krakauer, Santa Fe Institute
"In your hands is the grand synthesis of a long, productive inquiry into the nature of scientific collaboration. Some readers will want to immerse themselves in scientists' frank appraisals of their research relationships, while others will latch onto ideas for improving the process and performance of their collaborations. Rich in evidence, analysis, and good sense, this book delivers on its promise to bring knowledge into practice."--Edward J. Hackett, Brandeis University
"In The Strength in Numbers, Bozeman and Youtie brilliantly enrich our thinking about team science. They give us a strong appreciation for the importance of collaborative teams in advancing the ever-increasing body of scientific knowledge. This book is required reading for those who desire a clear explanation of the evolution of scholarly inquiry."--Albert N. Link, University of North Carolina, Greensboro
"An engaging look at a topic of interest not just to collaboration researchers but all of us in academia. Collaboration is something we almost all do and all of us should want to do it better."--Wesley Shrum, Louisiana State University
"With its wealth of information, this well-organized and easy-to-read book has value for all researchers no matter their status in a collaborative effort or the stage of their career."--Ralph R. Ristenbatt III, Pennsylvania State University
