A frontier for scientific collaboration is computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), often codified and supported in collaboratories: computing infrastructures providing remote access to scientists, tools, databases, and instruments. A central aspect of and reason for scientific collaboration is creativity but we do not yet have a clear understanding of the relationship between collaboration and creativity in science. This project will contribute to the basic science of creativity and to the empirical science of measuring creativity. Studies and theories of creativity in human computer interaction (HCI) contexts, and more specifically in real-world CSCW contexts, will advance this traditional area in psychology, which has tended to focus on static, and often unrealistic task situations. Second, this project will develop reusable metrics and measures of creativity in distributed scientific collaboration.The Next Generation CiteSeer collaboratory (supported under a concurrent NSF Computing Research Infrastructure grant 0454052) will be used to identify and generalize requirements to support creative scientific collaboration in the context of distributed settings; develop and validate a multi-faceted framework to evaluate creativity as an embedded and long-term activity; codify and abstract critical incidents and breakdowns that occur during the longitudinal process of creativity.Broader impactsThe goal of this project is to enhance the quality of creative collaborative interactions in the Next Generation CiteSeer collaboratory. Two obvious trends in the research practices of the CISE community are its use of Internet-based collaboration (primary through email) and its use of digital resources, such as the ACM Digital Library. The Next Generation CiteSeer project brings these two trends together in a collaboratory environment for CiteSeer-based collaboration. This project will help to enhance our understanding of how this infrastructure can facilitate creativity; findings that may transfer well to similar efforts. CiteSeer has been a valuable research tool for the CISE community. Log analysis of CiteSeer usage shows that it is well used by Hispanic Serving Institutions and by Historically Black Colleges and Universities. These are institutions that for the most part lack adequate access to the scholarly literature. The project will provide additional service learning opportunities through classes and independent study projects for students, both undergraduate and graduate, to integrate their formal education with its practical application toward a real-world system such as CiteSeer.

科学合作的前沿是计算机支持的合作工作（CSCW），经常在协作中进行编纂和支持：计算基础架构，可为科学家，工具，数据库和工具提供远程访问。科学合作的一个主要方面和原因是创造力，但我们尚未清楚地了解科学中的协作与创造力之间的关系。该项目将有助于创造力的基础科学和衡量创造力的经验科学。人类计算机互动（HCI）环境中的创造力的研究和理论，更具体地说是在现实世界中的CSCW环境中，将推进心理学的传统领域，该领域倾向于专注于静态的，通常是不切实际的任务情况。其次，该项目将在分布式科学协作中制定可重复使用的指标和创造力的度量。下一代Citeseer Collaboratory（在同时发生的NSF计算研究基础设施基础设施授予0454052下支持）将用于识别和推广要求，以支持分布式设置的分布式设置的上下文中的创造性科学合作；开发和验证一个多方面的框架，以评估创造力作为嵌入式和长期活动；在创造力的纵向过程中进行的编纂和抽象的关键事件和分解。BRODER影响该项目的目标是提高下一代Citeseer协作中创意协作互动的质量。 CISE社区研究实践的两个明显趋势是使用基于Internet的协作（通过电子邮件）及其使用数字资源（例如ACM数字图书馆）。下一代Citeseer项目将这两种趋势融合在一起，以用于基于Citeseer的协作的协作环境。该项目将有助于增强我们对这种基础设施如何促进创造力的理解；可能会很好地转移到类似努力的发现。 Citeseer一直是Cise社区的宝贵研究工具。 Citeseer用法的日志分析表明，西班牙裔服务机构以及历史上的黑人学院和大学都很好地使用它。这些机构在大多数情况下缺乏足够的学术文献访问权限。该项目将通过课程和独立的研究项目为本科生和研究生提供更多的服务学习机会，以将其正规教育与对Citeseer等现实世界系统的实际应用融合在一起。
