| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The collaboration between natural and social scientists is one of the important challenges both for the academia and contemporary society. Taking one research collaboration project as a case study, this research examined how natural and social scientists had academically communicated in the inter-disciplinary project. A project documentation method, including both quantitative and qualitative analyses, was applied to examine detailed communication process in the project. We found several constraints that impeded researchers’ communications. Especially, researchers' tacit knowledge and feeling regarding research “fields” were crucially important, sometimes more crucial than the constraints originated from their academic disciplines.
