Abstract
First paragraph: In contemporary academia ‘team science’ is a key component of academic life, and over the last thirty years, or so, there has been a noticeable trend towards more inter or multidisciplinary team based research Previously, social scientists would often undertake their research in relative isolation and produced single-authored monographies. Today, most research and academic publications are a collaborative team effort Teams allow for different types of expertise to develop new insights, as well as specific methodological expertise to help strengthen the quality of empirical research. In addition, working in teams is often very inspiring, can boost creativity and result in strong intellectual knowledge contributions.
