challenges and ımpedıments ın collaboration while carrying out researches wıth colleagues. What actually incentivizes some researchers to refrain from any group research study.
Dear Rahimi:
Here are some ideas! Perhaps lasting ties is the key! A recent research study (Dahlander, & McFarland, 2013) used a longitudinal dataset of research collaborations over 15 years at Stanford University, and build a theory of intraorganizational task relationships that distinguishes the different factors associated with the formation and persistence of network ties.
The authors highlighted six factors: shared organizational foci, shared traits and interests, tie advantages from popularity, tie reinforcement from third parties, tie strength and multiplexity, and the instrumental returns from the products of ties. Findings suggest that ties form when unfamiliar people identify desirable and matching traits in potential partners.
By contrast, ties persist when familiar people reflect on the quality of their relationship and shared experiences. The former calls for shallow, short-term strategies for assessing a broad array of potential ties; the latter calls for long-term strategies and substantive assessments of a relationship’s worth so as to draw extended rewards from the association. This suggests that organizational activities geared toward sustaining persistent intraorganizational task relationships need to be different from activities aimed at forging new ones!

Hope this helps!

That is a nice question. For me, the main points are the following.
1. Our colleagues and co-researchers should be reliable and focussed.
2. Better understanding must be there within the team.
3. There must be a unanimity and acceptability among each one of them.
4. Everybody in the team must be free from conflicts of interests.
5. Every member must be competent and must contribute positively to the research.
6. Selfless effort must taken by every member of the team for making the reseach a good work.
