Collaboration has become a dominant mode of scientific inquiry, and good collaborative processes are important for ensuring scientific quality and productivity. Often the participants in these collaborations are not collocated, yet distance introduces challenges. There remains a need for evaluative tools that can identify potential collaboration problems early and provide strategies for managing and addressing collaboration issues. This paper introduces a new research and diagnostic tool, the Collaboration Success Wizard (CSW), and provides two case studies of its use in evaluating ongoing collaborative projects in the health sciences. The CSW is designed both to validate and refine existing theory about the factors that encourage successful collaboration and to promote good collaborative practices in geographically distributed team-based scientific projects. These cases demonstrate that the CSW can promote reflection and positive change in collaborative science.
合作已成为科学探究的主导模式，良好的合作流程对于确保科学质量和生产力至关重要。通常，这些合作中的参与者并不在同一地点，然而距离带来了挑战。仍然需要能够早期识别潜在合作问题并提供管理和解决合作问题策略的评估工具。本文介绍了一种新的研究和诊断工具——合作成功向导（CSW），并提供了两个案例研究，展示了其在评估健康科学领域正在进行的合作项目中的应用。CSW旨在验证和完善关于促进成功合作的因素的现有理论，并在地理上分散的基于团队的科学项目中推广良好的合作实践。这些案例表明，CSW可以促进合作科学中的反思和积极变革。
