Ideas and perspectives: Proposed best practices for collaboration at cross-disciplinary observatories

摘要: Abstract. Interdisciplinary science affords new opportunities but also presents challenges for biogeosciences collaboration. Since 2007, we have conducted site-based interdisciplinary research in central PA, USA, at the Susquehanna Shale Hills critical zone observatory. Early our collaboration, we realized need some best practices that could guide our project team. While found guidelines determining authorship on papers, fewer describing how to collaboratively establish field sites, share instrumentation, model code, and share data. Thus, worked as a team develop document is presented here. this work is based on one large project, think many of themes are universal, present our example provide a building block improving function biogeoscience science teams.
