The purposes of this survey were to examine guidelines for collaborative research, determine the extent of agreement, and discover any sources of disagreement within research groups. Listing of names on publications or conference presentations and delineation of roles and responsiblities were the most frequently discussed items by members of collaborative research teams. Less then half of the respondents reported disagreements within their groups. Major sources of disagreement were the order of listing authors' names, the roles and responsibilities of group members, and choosing conference presenters. Both the most frequently discussed items and those that were sources of disagreement were incorporated into guidelines for group research. The use of these guidelines for group endeavors may encourage and strengthen collaborative research. |
