Research Topic Diversity,Knowledge Integration,and Research Team Paper Performance
Using 97 biology academician teams of the United States National Academy of Sciences in 2009 and 2010,and based on the team's paper publication data,the impact of research topic diversity and knowledge integration on team paper performance at different sizes is investigated.The results show that knowledge integration plays a positive role in the signifi-cant impact on team paper performance at different sizes.With the expansion of team size,the significant impact of research topic diversity on team productivity turns from"negative"to"positive",while the significant impact on team influence turns from"positive"to"negative".Knowledge integration plays a moderating role between research topic diversity and large-scale team productivity.
