    Este trabajo pretende explorar la influencia de factores socio-organizativos en los modos en los que los científicos representan y ponen en práctica la colaboración dentro de sus grupos de investigación. Hemos realizado un trabajo de campo basado en entrevistas semi-estructuradas a miembros de grupos de investigación, apoyado con el análisis de observaciones etnográficas en contextos de trabajo.

    Hemos partido de cuatro ejes cuyo equilibrio los científicos consideran clave para sus prácticas de colaboración: Instrumentalidad, afectividad, jerarquía y agregación. Hemos reconstruido dos estilos de colaboración, uno basado en la búsqueda de cohesión grupal, y otro centrado en la estructura y la certidumbre. Factores como el tamaño y antigüedad de los grupos y la trayectoria de los investigadores son importantes para entender los estilos de colaboración que se promueven en cada grupo.

    This work aims to explore the influence of socio-organizational factors on the ways in which scientists represent and implement collaboration within their research groups. We have carried out field work based on semi-structured interviews with members of high-performance research groups, supported by the analysis of ethnographic observations in profesional work contexts of several of these groups. We start from four axes whose balance scientists consider key to their collaborative practices: instrumentality, affectivity, hierarchy and aggregation. From this, we have rebuilt two styles of collaboration, one based on the search for group cohesion and the other focused on structure and certainty. Factors such as the size and seniority of the groups and the trajectory of the principal investigators are important in understanding the collaboration styles that are promoted in each group.
