Analysis reveals collaboration synergy shapes scientific disruption in diverse disciplines, suggesting new metrics for evaluation.

Collaboration synergy mediates 75% of the link between team composition and scientific disruption, emphasizing its critical role.
Papers with notable researchers show a 561% higher disruption index, while high-citation authors may hinder innovation.
The study analyzed over 14 million papers across 19 disciplines from 1960 to 2020 to unveil synergy dynamics.
Four distinct knowledge production modes were identified, informing science policy and collaborative strategies for research.

Zheng et al. (2025) studied this question.
