Digital open science tools are biased towards North American and European researchers, requiring inclusive design processes to enable global collaboration.

The varying openness of digital open science tools

Digital open science tools are currently biased towards North American and European researchers, highlighting the need for inclusive design processes and long-term funding mechanisms.

Boundary-spanning tools like prototypes, mockups, and whiteboards facilitate cross-domain collaboration among specialists in diverse digital and non-digital knowledge domains, leading to the creation of digital innovations.

Multi-university scientific collaborations are less well-coordinated and result in fewer positive outcomes than multidisciplinary projects, with physical coordination mechanisms slightly reducing this negative impact.

Collaborative Research Across Disciplinary and Organizational Boundaries

What is the role of digital tools in facilitating collaborative research across disciplines and geographic boundaries?

These studies suggest that digital tools facilitate collaborative research across disciplines and geographic boundaries by providing platforms for sharing resources, enhancing communication, and supporting multidisciplinary solutions, though there is a need for inclusive design and balancing with in-person interactions.
