Research group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A research group is a group of researchers often from the same faculty, specialized on the same subject, working together on the issue or topic.[1]

The success of a research group depends on several factors: clearly defined goals, research emphasis, group climate, participative governance, decentralized organization, communication, resources, recruitment, selection, and leadership.[2]

Research groups may be mistaken for study groups, which tend to be more casual and more frequently used by younger students.
