AI总结:
本研究基于2.05亿篇论文数据,提取51万多个持久合作核心团队,分析其形成、构成与解散轨迹,揭示年龄、隶属关系等构成特征对学术成功的影响。
摘要:
团队是推动创新和促进现代科学发展的基本单位。大量文献将团队的基本特征(如规模和多样性)与学术成功联系起来。然而,这些分析未能捕捉时间模式,将每一组合著者视为一个独立单元,忽视了持久合作的存在。相比之下,团队是动态实体,由持续合作的核心成员组成,周围环绕着偶尔参与的临时成员。利用自1900年以来发表的超过2.05亿篇科学论文的大型数据集,我们提取了511,550个具有统计显著性的持久合作核心团队,涵盖科学家对和更大群体。我们研究“团队职业生涯”,探究其随时间变化的轨迹,描述其形成、生产力和最终解散。我们从多个维度表征团队构成,包括年龄、学术隶属关系和科学学科。最后,我们调查持久合作的学术影响,突出其成功背后的关键构成特征。我们的工作揭示了持久团队的本质,为研究人员、机构和资助机构提供了关于其形成、演化和成功动态的见解。
英文摘要:
Teams are the fundamental units propelling innovation and advancing modern science. A rich literature links the fundamental features of teams, such as their size and diversity, to academic success. However, such analyses fail to capture temporal patterns, treating each group of co-authors as a distinct unit and neglecting the existence of persistent collaborations. By contrast, teams are dynamical entities, made of core members who consistently work together, surrounded by transient members who sporadically participate. Leveraging on a large dataset of over 205 million scientific papers published since 1900, we extract 511,550 core teams of statistically significant persistent collaborations of pairs and larger groups of scientists. We look into `team careers' investigating their trajectories in time, characterizing their formation, productivity and eventual dissolution. We characterize team composition along multiple dimensions, including age, academic affiliation and scientific disciplines. Finally, we investigate the academic impact of persistent collaborations, hallmarking the key compositional features underlying their success. Our work sheds light on the nature of persistent teams, informing researchers, institutions and funding agencies about the dynamics of their formation, evolution and success.
