Mobilizing Networks

Abstract

Collaboration is an important part of scientific practice and work. This analysis of how field experimental collaborations within atmospheric science are organized focuses on how relations between researchers are established and how this is related to the mobilization of resources. It is argued that these relationships can be understood by being considered from the point of view of the different researcher roles that researchers play in relation to each other. The article outlines three different roles: the entrepreneur, the integrated experimentalist and the instrument expert. These roles differ in terms of their position in the organization of projects and in the role measurement instruments play for researchers in their work as well as in relation to other roles. The article also discusses how the different roles of measurement instruments affect how and when researchers become involved in collaborative projects.
