Long Distance Collaboration
What is this about?
This case deals with an interdisciplinary and cross-country collaboration (between a theorist and an experimentalist). The case is detailed an involves a number of questions related to responsibilities in scientific collaborations, authorship, and publication review. This is a fictional case.
Why is this important?
Cross-boundary collaboration (between disciplines, countries, institutions) is becoming more common to address scientific problems and societal challenges that are difficult to answer from one discipline or setting. It is important to understand the types of problems that can arise during such collaborations.
