Collaborating on Scholarship: Best Practices for Team Research Projects

Article on collaborating on scholarship. Collaborating on scholarship has the potential to provide many advantages, including benefiting from others’ expertise, reinforcing accountability, and providing motivation. However, working with others is tricky—consider compatible work habits, receptivity to criticism, and commitment to fulfill responsibilities. Decisions to be made include where to publish, in what order authors’ names will appear, and how the manuscripts will be written. Who will coordinate? Who will write what? Who will revise? Also, consider how to address problems—missed deadlines, less-than-stellar quality, how to say “no” in the future, and more. This version is the authors' manuscript.

Through deductive thematic content analysis and a univariate approach, researchers identified new trends in cataloging manager job requirements, including additional technology responsibilities and a growing emphasis on diversity and inclusion.
