Analysis of papers produced and cited by synthesis center-type groups in the USA and France, 2010-2020, and open-source feedback from those groups

This data package supports Specht and Crowston "Interdisciplinary collaboration from diverse
science teams can produce significant outcomes", an analysis of papers cited by twenty two
synthesis-center-type groups in the USA and France from 2010 - 2020. This package contains three
data objects: the first is a collation and classification by research field (using the Australia and New
Zealand Fields of Research Classification) of publication outputs by these working groups. Second is
a matrix (long format) matching research disciplines to citations of publications in these publication
outputs. The third data object is a document of free-text, voluntary feedback from synthesis
participants in response to the questions “how effective was group function”; “how satisfied were you
with the function of the group?”; and “in your opinion, what were the primary factors that contributed to
your working group’s effectiveness or lack thereof”. The groups studied were formed between 2010
and 2015 and sponsored by three organisations. Data collation ceased in August 2020. All data has
been anonymized to ensure that none of the sponsoring organisations, synthesis groups or
individuals can be identified.

本数据包用于支持Specht与Crowston的研究《来自不同科学团队的跨学科协作可产出重大成果》，该研究针对2010至2020年间美国与法国的22个综合中心类研究团队的被引论文展开分析。本数据包包含三类数据对象：其一为基于澳新研究领域分类标准（Australia and New Zealand Fields of Research Classification），对上述研究团队的发表成果进行整理与分类的数据集；其二为将研究学科与上述发表成果中的论文被引情况进行匹配的长格式矩阵数据集；其三为自由文本形式的自愿反馈文档，内容为综合中心参与者针对以下三个问题的反馈："团队职能的有效性如何""您对团队职能的满意度如何"以及"您认为哪些核心因素影响了本研究团队的有效性或低效性"。本次研究涉及的团队组建于2010至2015年间，由三家机构资助。数据整理工作于2020年8月终止。所有数据均已完成匿名化处理，确保无法识别任何资助机构、综合中心团队及个人。
