Scientific research depends on collaboration between researchers and institutions. But over the past decade, there has been a surge of large-scale research projects involving extraordinarily large numbers of researchers, from dozens to hundreds, all working on a common project.
, focused on comparative cognition and behavior across animal taxa. These kinds of projects, known as big team science , benefit from pooled human and material resources and draw on diverse data sets to gird studies with a robustness not found in smaller ones.
Fortunately, a group of BTS veterans, including two Concordia researchers, has published a how-to guide to help their fellow academics build their own projects. The article, published in thejournal, is based on expertise gained over multiple BTS projects, and it provides a road map for best practices and overcoming challenges.
"This is important because research has traditionally been conducted in a siloed manner, where individual teams from one institution work with small, limited samples."The authors acknowledge that no two projects are alike, and there is no one model to creating a BTS study. But success can be achieved by applying a common approach.
