title: Collaborative research teams: It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
abstract: This article focuses on working as a collaborative in conducting research. A common recommendation for those who want to get started in scholarly work is to collaborate with a team of like-minded individuals as part of an interest group. As researchers, we all have personal agendas in undertaking research. We need to reflect on the following: our own agendas; being honest with ourselves, and our research teammates; ensuring that our aims are not mutually exclusive or detrimental to the aspirations of our colleagues and students; and on the ethical conduct of the research work itself.
