合作研究的增长给那些负责研究评估的人带来了困难，特别是在成果出现缓慢的情况下。本文提出了“研究评估的多样性方法”（DARE）作为一种新的方法来评估从事知识创造和应用的研究人员如何作为团队一起工作。DARE提供了两个重要的见解：首先，它揭示了个体团队成员之间背景和经验的差异，这些差异可以使研究合作既有价值又具有挑战性；其次，DARE提供了关于团队成员如何协同工作的早期见解。DARE基于Boschma的多维接近度概念，从五个维度分析了团队的多样性和凝聚力，从而获得了这些见解。我们提出的方法结合叙述、地图和指标，以促进研究合作的研究。本文介绍了DARE方法，并通过对由英国研究人员领导的两个获得资助的生物医学研究项目的研究，初步实施了试验。讨论了进一步发展该方法的建议。
Growth in collaborative research raises difficulties for those tasked with research evaluation, particularly in situations where outcomes are slow to emerge. This article presents the ‘Diversity Approach to Research Evaluation’ (DARE) as a novel way to assess how researchers engaged in knowledge creation and application work together as teams. DARE provides two important insights: first, it reveals the differences in background and experience between individual team members that can make research collaboration both valuable and challenging; second, DARE provides early insights into how team members are working together. DARE achieves these insights by analysing team diversity and cohesiveness in five dimensions, building on Boschma’s multi-dimensional concept of proximity. The method we propose combines narratives, maps, and indicators to facilitate the study of research collaboration. The article introduces the DARE method and pilots an initial operationalization through the study of two grant-funded biomedical research projects led by researchers in the UK. Suggestions for further development of the approach are discussed.
