| description | <p>Interdisciplinary science affords new opportunities but
also presents new challenges for biogeosciences collaboration. Since 2007,
we have conducted site-based interdisciplinary research in central PA, USA,
at the Susquehanna Shale Hills critical zone observatory. Early in our
collaboration, we realized the need for some best practices that could guide
our project team. While we found some guidelines for determining authorship
on papers, we found fewer guidelines describing how to collaboratively
establish field sites, share instrumentation, share model code, and share
data. Thus, we worked as a team to develop a best practices document that is
presented here. While this work is based on one large team project, we think
many of the themes are universal, and we present our example to provide a
building block for improving the function of interdisciplinary biogeoscience
science teams.</p> |
