摘要

本文以一个生命科学实验室的案例研究为例,探讨了科研实验室的研究人员如何相互合作并重视这些合作。它探讨了实验室内的研究人员如何以三种主要方式进行合作:通过他们的想法、方法和资源。本文的一个核心论点是,研究者赋予这些不同合作方式的价值可以从两个维度来评估:目标和理解方式。目标维度从团队目标(体现在由主要研究者定义的实验室愿景中)移动到实验室中个人研究人员的目标(通常通过个人项目的工作来实现)。在这个案例研究中,研究人员更重视个人目标。对维度的理解方式从以理论为基础、建构理论的研究活动,转向与研究实验室的实验相关的以工艺为基础的活动。在本案例研究中,研究人员更重视理论理解方式。结合起来,这两个维度意味着研究人员将更加重视支持个人目标和理论理解方式的合作。以想法为基础的合作、个人主义和理论性质的合作是最受重视的。在这个案例研究中,基于资源、社区和以工艺为中心的合作是最不受重视的。

Between Theory and Craft: Exploring the Role of Co-operation within Scientific Research Labs
This article explores how researchers in a scientific research lab co-operate with each other and value these co-operations, using a case study of a life sciences lab as an illustrative example. It explores how researchers within the lab co-operate in three main ways: through their ideas, methods and resources. A core contention of this article is that the values researchers attach to these different ways of co-operating can be assessed on two dimensions: goals and ways of understanding. The goals dimension moves from group goals, manifested in the vision of the lab defined by its principal investigator, to the goals of individual researchers within the lab, often achieved through work on individual projects. Individual goals were more highly valued by researchers in this case study. The ways of understanding dimension moves from theory-based and theory-building research activities, to craft-based activities related to the research lab’s experiments. Theoretical ways of understanding are more highly valued by researchers in this case study. Combined, these two dimensions mean that researchers will value co-operations that support individual goals and theoretical ways of understanding more highly. Idea-based collaborations, individualistic and theoretical in nature, were the most highly valued. Collaborations based on resources, communal and craft-centered, were the least valued in this case study.
