Lone wolves need not apply

Article Abstract:

Advice for university researchers on how to co-ordinate the efforts of large research efforts made up of multiple research teams, often spread across a number of institutions and even across a number of countries. Tips include working out how the project will be managed and getting a good support staff involved, making sure that everybody knows what the project is about and their part in it, and not doing anything that the budget doesn't cover.
