论文摘要
团队合作是现代科学中最突出的特征之一。现在，人们对团队规模是影响团队创造力的重要因素。但是，关于研究特征如何受团队新鲜度影响的关键问题尚不清楚。在本文中，我们根据团队成员之间没有事先合作来量化团队的新鲜感。我们的结果表明，新鲜的团队倾向于产生更高独创性和更多学科的影响。这些效果甚至在较大的团队中被放大。此外，我们发现新团队成员在论文中定义的新鲜感是研究独创性和多学科的更有效指标，与团队成员之间的新合作关系定义的新鲜度相比。最后，我们表明，成员的职业新鲜感在提高生产论文的独创性和多学科性方面也起着重要作用。
Teamwork is one of the most prominent features in modern science. It is now well-understood that the team size is an important factor that affects team creativity. However, the crucial question of how the character of research studies is influenced by the freshness of the team remains unclear. In this paper, we quantify the team freshness according to the absent of prior collaboration among team members. Our results suggest that fresher teams tend to produce works of higher originality and more multi-disciplinary impact. These effects are even magnified in larger teams. Furthermore, we find that freshness defined by new team members in a paper is a more effective indicator of research originality and multi-disciplinarity compared to freshness defined by new collaboration relations among team members. Finally, we show that career freshness of members also plays an important role in increasing the originality and multi-disciplinarity of produced papers.
