在过去的二十年里，公共和私人对大规模团队科学计划的投资增加，这突出表明需要更好地了解背景因素如何影响跨学科科学合作的有效性。为实现这一目标，从四个不同领域的研究结果对团队绩效和协作进行了审查：（1）社会心理和管理研究的有效性，团队在组织和机构设置;（2）网络基础设施的研究（即，基于计算机的基础设施），旨在支持跨远程研究站点的跨学科合作;（3）以社区为基础的健康促进联盟的调查;（4）直接关注跨学科研究中心和培训计划内科学合作的前提，过程和结果的研究。在这四个领域的实证文献揭示了几个上下文的情况下，要么促进或阻碍团队绩效和协作。跨学科合作的背景影响的类型学提出了一个基础上，获得实用的指导方针，设计，管理和评估成功的团队科学的举措。
Increased public and private investments in large-scale team science initiatives over the past two decades have underscored the need to better understand how contextual factors influence the effectiveness of transdisciplinary scientific collaboration. Toward that goal, the findings from four distinct areas of research on team performance and collaboration are reviewed: (1) social psychological and management research on the effectiveness of teams in organizational and institutional settings; (2) studies of cyber-infrastructures (i.e., computer-based infrastructures) designed to support transdisciplinary collaboration across remote research sites; (3) investigations of community-based coalitions for health promotion; and (4) studies focusing directly on the antecedents, processes, and outcomes of scientific collaboration within transdisciplinary research centers and training programs. The empirical literature within these four domains reveals several contextual circumstances that either facilitate or hinder team performance and collaboration. A typology of contextual influences on transdisciplinary collaboration is proposed as a basis for deriving practical guidelines for designing, managing, and evaluating successful team science initiatives.
