Collaboration is a key component of evolution and survival. It's been around since the dawn of time. We turn to collaboration in times of scarcity and crisis. But the practice of collaboration also serves us well as a homeostatic mechanism, helping teams and organizations and communities optimize their interactions.
Collaboration is studied in many contexts, from many perspectives: psychology, business management, team science, social change, race, and gender studies. Our goal in launching this Research Topic is to bring together scholars and practitioners across a wide swath of domains and disciplines, to share case studies of collaboration practice. When does it work and why? Why does it fail? How can learning in one domain be applied in other contexts? How can we evaluate the effectiveness of these team-based approaches?
Collaboration means many things to many people. In this Topic, we are seeking to strengthen connections between the domains and disciplines in which collaboration is studied and practiced. We invite manuscripts and case studies exploring the practice of collaboration in the areas of psychology, decision science, philosophy, coaching and facilitation, research teams, organizational design, business management, information science, communications, sociology, neuroscience, and more. We encourage practitioners from academia, government, industry, community groups, and NGOs to contribute. Our intention is to gather case studies and demonstrations that illustrate how collaboration works and how it can be applied and maintained more effectively in a variety of contexts. We are particularly interested in studies and practical examples that engage cross-cultural communities, explore gender or neurodiversity dimensions, or discuss recovery from failure.
