Collaboration in creative work: An initiative for investigation

Abstract: Collaborations have produced many great achievements. To stimulate the scholarly attention that the phenomenon deserves but has not received, this article reviews anecdotal evidence and examples of collaboration from different fields and indicates various forms it can take. Several creative phenomena are reinterpreted in light of collaboration's effects, and hypotheses and methods for study are suggested. It is speculated that collaborations benefit from partner diversity and require special talents of which people differ.
