SciTS 2010 Conference: Sessions

Setting the Stage: Science of Team Science Concept Mapping Project

William Trochim will present the results of an empirical exercise undertaken in preparation for the conference. Conference registrants and other interested parties were invited to participate in a web-based concept mapping project designed to provide a comprehensive taxonomy of issues in the science of team science that can help guide both the conference and this field of inquiry more broadly. Trochim will describe how the conceptual maps derived from the concept mapping study can provide a programmatic foundation for future research in this field.
