Описание:We will introduce a view on the global research community as a scholarly labor division system with collaborating and coordinating researchers. Then we will provide an introduction to the different types of such collaboration, and present a comparison of these types along several axes. We will introduce an abstract model of collaboration to analyze what distinguishes collaboration from communication and why people use many types of collaboration. Based on this model, we will look at scholarly collaboration mechanisms. We will discuss limitations of the scholarly publishing infrastructure, academic journals and traditional scholarly citation practice as a collaboration mechanism. We will analyze major requirements for scholarly communication tools and institutes needed to design a better mechanism for scholarly communication and more efficient collaboration.
There will be four short interactive sessions devoted to the following topics:
What are collaboration and competition within the scholarly labor division system?
What are incentives and expectations of researchers when they cite each other?
How much collaboration is enough, and why might researchers not like extra collaboration?
What are the ideal forms of scholarly communication and collaboration, and what are the main obstacles for them?
