Table 1 Key Community of Practice repertoire manifestations in emerging multidisciplinary project teams
From: The construction of new scientific norms for solving Grand Challenges
CoP repertoire | |
|---|---|
Mutual engagement | Regular contacts between the project partners in which they attempt to exercise collective influence to integrate the activities of individual research teams, developing unselfconscious shared scientific identity |
Joint enterprise | Sincere attempt to run an integrated scientific project regarded as legitimate within the individual researchers’ respective scientific paradigms, internalised within project tools and technologies |
Shared repertoires | The emergence of a narrative case history regarding past scientific judgments within the project: as collaborations become longer in their duration, discussions of legitimacy or desirability become less rooted in epistemic judgments and more in what was regarded as legitimate in prior discussions |
