基于美国一家转化性癌症研究所的原始人种学研究，我们提出校准作为一个过程，使跨学科合作没有共识成为可能。校准是指在面对面的小组讨论中围绕日常研究问题进行的个人身份、学科承诺和研究小组习俗的日常谈判和校准。校准提供了一种机制，解释了没有共识的协作是如何可能的。至关重要的是，它并没有预设跨学科合作表明或导致学科界限的模糊或软化。我们认为，在微观社会学层面上，可能是学科的稳健性，而不是综合性，促成了跨学科创新。
Based on an original ethnographic study of a translational cancer research institute in the United States, we propose calibration as a process that makes interdisciplinary collaboration without consensus possible. Calibration refers to ongoing, day-to-day negotiation and alignment of personal identities, disciplinary commitments, and research group customs that occur during face-to-face group deliberations around everyday research concerns. Calibration provides a mechanism that explains how collaboration without consensus is possible. Crucially, it does not presuppose that interdisciplinary collaboration either indicates or causes the blurring or softening of disciplinary boundaries. We argue that at the microsociological level it may be disciplinary robustness, rather than synthesis, that contributes to interdisciplinary innovation.
