Research collaborations often start out vague, and participants may have different expectations about issues like workload, authorship, publication form, and open science. We are developing a toolkit where project initiators can state how they foresee the collaboration, and potential collaborators can evaluate if the project is right for them.

Please try it out and give feedback!

First preprint from the CONNECT partnership (Coordinated Network of Networks for Enhancing Collaborative Teams; https://connect-btss.github.io/)

A Network Of Networks: The Next Frontier For Big Team Science https://osf.io/jkm6p

A network-of-networks is "a coordinated ecosystem approach that connects existing BTS initiatives and community partners to develop and share knowledge, infrastructure, and inclusive practices"

In an hour and a half (12:30 UTC / 14:30 CET) I'll give a lightning talk at the online BTS conference about the tool we are putting together for standardizing hypotheses.

In about two hours (12:30 UTC) I'll be hosting a hackathon where we'll work on a checklist for generating research collaboration statements. Register for free and join us in the brainstorming: https://bigteamscienceconference.github.io/

We presented our #ManyTones project at the 2025 #BigTeamScience Conference. We talked about project background, pilot study, and challenges. The slides are available at https://chenchenzi.github.io/manytones/projects/1_project/. Feel free to check them out 👀

Today, @lizhare gave a spectacular talk at the Big Team Science Conference about the peer review software resources developed by @rOpenSci and how she learned about them during the Champions program.

The slide with the unexpected benefits is my favorite part of the entire presentation! Thank you, Liz, for including me in this and introducing me to a new community!

I'm putting together a short bibliography of recent papers about #BigTeamScience, with emphasis on challenges and solutions for large social science projects. Am I missing any important papers? I'm in particular looking for any tools or checklists to use when planning or preparing a new BTS project. #OpenScience @openscience

🚨 conference alert! 6-8 October 2025, online.

Big Team Science Conference (4th edition) : https://bigteamscienceconference.github.io/

Looks great, will try to attend
#BigTeamScience #ConferenceAlert

I am excited to be the @pcirr recommender (editor) for the #RegisteredReport "Assessing diversity and representativeness of big team science in psychology" by
Weibiao Liu, Sakshi Ghai, Flavio Azevedo, Patrick Forscher, and Hu Chuan-Peng

💕 I love that #BigTeamScience might be a tool that we can use to combat biases in academia!

Liu and colleagues will find out whether
1) big team science samples are more diverse and more representative of the global population in terms of sex, age, education, and country distribution
2) authors of big team science articles are more socioeconomically diverse than those of the traditional articles, and whether the socioeconomic diversity of the authors of the big team science articles is more representative of the global population

I'm looking forward to learning what they find out!
