Creating a Collaborative Research Team

Abstract As a team and as individuals, we discuss our success as a research team in the context of being connected to our collaboration. Research collaboration is not a new topic, however, there is little written on the subject. For these reasons, we felt it was important to give voice to our collaborative efforts and include the aspects we believe made it successful. Through dialogue about our research process, aspects of successful collaboration were identified, many of which appeared consistent with feminist ideas, including an invitation to participate, membership, knowledge of self, power, and practicalities.
