Thanks for the good topic, I would like to mention some aspects from my view point:
Being Responsible
To be someone who puts in a lot of effort in their duty and are very hardworking. They always make sure they complete their task on time and before the deadline.
Being Trustworthy & Loyal
Someone on whom you could completely rely on and trust them. These people are very honest in their dealings.
Having Ethical Beliefs & Principles
Someone who is honest and deals with high moral and principles is ethical in their dealings.
Being Diligent
They are never easily distracted by what’s happening in the surrounding.
Having Disciplines
As I personally believe that right amount of discipline is the key to just any success, especially in team-work spirits
Being A Complementary Researcher
I also think that if you collect always researchers with same view-points, you will ave probably same results always! to discover more, add on some researchers with different viewpoints as always constructive discussions may always lead to success
In economics that is my expectise research area I think that a good research should have the following basic characteristics:
An analytical framework and hypotheses that describes the topic of the research. Clear presentation of the variables that will be examined. A good research design by applying new economic and econometric methods. Clear results and extended discussion of the empirical findings. The conclusions of the research should generate new questions and give the directions for future research.
I share what Malini Chaudhri , Julia Doncheva , Panagiotis Pegkas , Salman Keyani Borujeni already said. Besides, I look into one who meets commitments and deadline together, Focused, Honest, and Motivated.
A research colleague must complement your own skills, knowledge and abilities. For example you may be good at conducting experiments whereas your partner may be good with analysis or writing. Thus complementary skills create synergy. The second aspect is similarity in attitude, values and goals between you and your colleague. The partner's willingness to share the workload is important since it can lead to frustration along the way if there is a perception that the partner is not pulling their weight.
Understanding ,full co operation, no time bonding, collectively apply efforts for solving complex problem, what negatives are with me my colleague should have expert in that point and vise versa,friendly and respecful relations with colleague
In the field of research our Collogue must be a different thinker against your thought then only you get good and different results which are valuable for society
Jaydip - Lucky are the persons who get good research colleagues. A research colleague can be a friend, facilitator, guide and collaborator or could make on's life a hell. A good research colleague must be open-minded and also has a critical way of thinking. The colleague shouldn't be dead wood but must be hard working, diligent, focused and devoted to his/her specific field of interest and should be resourceful and updated in knowledge. Besides, the colleagues should be a good human beings.
A research colleague should be honest, hardworking, inquisitive, should have good analytical skills. Should be open minded and easy to discuss with and above all should have the team spirit.
The overwhelming number of participants of the discussion list the qualities that, in their opinion, should have a “team member”. But these characteristics, in my opinion, are suitable for members of any group of people doing a common thing - from the crew of the ship, to the gang of criminals (for example, "loyalty"!!!).
Maybe it makes sense to consider the result of the group's work? This is most often an article. If attracting a new member of the group (I deliberately do not use the word "team" because it is too worn out. Often, this is almost a feudal structure in a democratic society, up to the transfer of power "by inheritance." So, it is not a community of specialists solving a common problem, but a rigid structure with an authoritarian type of management) makes the article better, then it is obviously useful, despite the shortcomings that it may have. I already wrote that in a good group, in my opinion, there should be figures of different types - initiator (idea generator), expert on problem (scientific literature), critic (ruthless of course), integrator, developers, specialists in the methods used, inexperienced students who have yet to become masters, etc. Push forward the same demands on all them is at least silly. From my own experience, I can remember how my best articles were written - all the participants argued hotly, sometimes in incorrect forms, but as a result we came to a decision that suited everyone. And in a situation of complete harmony, you do not need to do anything, everything is so good, there are no stimulus for change.
