Colleague
Main
Colleagues conduct independent research and contribute its results to their community’s knowledge (Gläser & Laudel, 2015[1]). Gläser and Laudel (2008)[2] show how the transition from apprentice to colleague within the peer community involves the transformation of collaborative relationships (from mentoring to partnerships). “This means that a colleague—a ‘full member’ of a community—is able:
- To assess the relevance, validity and reliability of the community’s body of knowledge and of the contributions offered by fellow members in their publications;
- To acquire valid and reliable knowledge that is deemed relevant for their work;
- To identify gaps in that knowledge and to formulate research questions concerning these gaps;
- To assess their capabilities and opportunities to answer these research questions;
- To conduct the work necessary for answering the research questions, which may include collaborating with other researchers; and
- To publish the results in a way they can be adopted by their scientific community.” (Laudel & Gläser 2008, p. 391[2]).
