Abstract
In every discipline, we observed the so-called “digital turn” or the digital transformation in scientific collaboration. A survey was designed and applied to researchers within the framework of the H2020 project EULAC Focus. The researchers consulted embrace different disciplines and are located in different universities and research institutes. There are 305 different interviews and 159 variables or observed responses. The research explores how information and communication technologies in this specific professional setting have affected the way in which research teams are related. In particular, this investigation explores the extent to which scientific networks are composed and how they collaborate thanks to the applied informatics, observing the digital tools used by researchers to communicate and collaborate.
