The past decade has witnessed a proliferation of big team science (BTS), endeavours where a comparatively large number of researchers pool their intellectual and/or material resources in pursuit of a common goal. Despite this burgeoning interest, there exists little guidance on how to create, manage and participate in these collaborations. In this paper, we integrate insights from a multi-disciplinary set of BTS initiatives to provide a how-to guide for BTS. We first discuss initial considerations for launching a BTS project, such as building the team, identifying leadership, governance, tools and open science approaches. We then turn to issues related to running and completing a BTS project, such as study design, ethical approvals and issues related to data collection, management and analysis. Finally, we address topics that present special challenges for BTS, including authorship decisions, collaborative writing and team decision-making.
过去十年见证了大型团队科学（BTS）的蓬勃发展，即相当数量的研究人员汇聚其智力和/或物质资源以追求共同目标的活动。尽管对此兴趣日益浓厚，但对于如何创建、管理和参与这些合作却几乎没有指导。在本文中，我们整合了一系列多学科BTS计划的见解，以提供一份BTS操作指南。我们首先讨论启动BTS项目的初步考虑因素，例如组建团队、确定领导、治理、工具和开放科学方法。然后我们转向与运行和完成BTS项目相关的问题，例如研究设计、伦理审批以及与数据收集、管理和分析相关的问题。最后，我们讨论给BTS带来特殊挑战的主题，包括作者身份决定、合作写作和团队决策。
