No longer. Today, science is done in teams of as many as hundreds of researchers who may be scattered across continents and represent a range of hierarchies. These collaborations can be powerful, but they demand new ways of thinking about scientific research. When three hundred people make a discovery, who gets credit? How can all collaborators' concerns be adequately addressed? Why do certain STEM collaborations succeed while others fail? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on the nascent science of team science, \u003ci\u003e The Strength in Numbers\u003c\/i\u003e synthesizes the results of the most far-reaching study to date on collaboration among university scientists to provide answers to such questions. Drawing on a national survey with responses from researchers at more than one hundred universities, anonymous web posts, archival data, and extensive interviews with active scientists and engineers in over a dozen STEM disciplines, Barry Bozeman and Jan Youtie set out a framework to characterize different types of collaboration and their likely outcomes. They also develop a model to define research effectiveness, which assesses factors internal and external to collaborations. They advance what they have found to be the gold standard of science collaborations: consultative collaboration management. This strategy--which codifies methods of consulting all team members on a study's key points and incorporates their preferences and values--empowers managers of STEM collaborations to optimize the likelihood of their effectiveness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Strength in Numbers\u003c\/i\u003e is a milestone in the science of team science and an indispensable guide for scientists interested in maximizing collaborative success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Bozeman, Jan Youtie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691174067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691174068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Barry Bozeman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925626814719,"sku":"9780691174068","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_163232c1-a1da-453a-92d8-d39b50c0cc20.jpg?v=1681078390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-strength-in-numbers-barry-bozeman-9780691174068","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
