1 GAIA conference working group Nathan Bos, moderator Interdisciplinary collaboration, Public Health and Climate Change

2 Milton S. Eisenhower Research Center (MERC) This session:  Rise of team science  Co-citation analysis of IPCC reports  What does Bjurstrom’s correspondence analysis mean?  What should the role of medicine and public health be?  What are the barriers to multidisciplinary collaborations?  What are success stories known to participants?  How did they overcome barriers? Science and Technology Business Area (S&T BA) 2

3 Milton S. Eisenhower Research Center (MERC) Increase in number of authors of papers and patents  Multi-authored papers also receive more citations Wuchty, S., Jones, B.F., Uzzi, B. (2007). The Increasing dominance of teams in production of knowledge. Science, 316. Science and Technology Business Area (S&T BA) 3

4 Milton S. Eisenhower Research Center (MERC) Co-authorship across institutions Science and Technology Business Area (S&T BA) 4 Wuchty, S., Jones, B.F., Uzzi, B. (2008). Multi-University research teams: shifting impact, geography, and stratification in science. Science, 322.

5 Milton S. Eisenhower Research Center (MERC) Basic types of bibliographic studies  Co-authorship  Co-reference  Documents reference the same sources  Co-citation  Documents cited by the same sources Science and Technology Business Area (S&T BA) 5 Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country

6 Milton S. Eisenhower Research Center (MERC) Co-citation study of journals cited in 3rd IPCC reports  Three reports from the 2001 3 rd IPCC reports, 43 chapters  96 most-cited journals (not journal articles), (6,413 references)  Journals categorized by subject categories of Journal Citation Reports  What journals tend to get cited in the same chapters? Science and Technology Business Area (S&T BA) 6

7 Milton S. Eisenhower Research Center (MERC) Journal clustering  Correspondence analysis of journal co-citation in the 43 x 96 matrix  What does this mean for the role of medicine and public health within climate change research? Science and Technology Business Area (S&T BA) 7 Bjurström, A, and Polk, M. (2010) Climate change and interdisciplinarity: a co- citation analysis of IPCC Third Assessment Report. Scientometrics.
