AI Article Synopsis
- Collective creative enterprises, like large scientific consortia, are becoming increasingly prominent in modern research.
- Analysis of co-authorship networks in the ENCODE and modENCODE consortia showed that members collaborate closely as a community, unlike non-members who typically work in smaller lab groups.
- A few key individuals, identified as brokers, significantly help facilitate collaborations between consortium members and outside researchers.
Article Abstract
The emergence of collective creative enterprise such as large scientific consortia is a unique feature in modern scientific research. We analyzed the temporal co-authorship network structures of ENCODE and modENCODE consortia. Our analysis revealed that the consortium members work closely as a community whereas non-members collaborate in the scale of a few laboratories. We also identified a few brokers playing an important role to facilitate collaborations with outside researchers.
