Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to bring these smaller self-forming, informal academic research teams into focus to understand the effects of ICT and associated processes which have emerged to support such formations. In addition, the identification of different traits within the small teams will be noted. This chapter will provide insight about virtual academic research teams (VART) based on the literature to date in this area as well as some insights about VARTs from two recent exploratory empirical studies (Carroll & Lecoure, 2005; Lecoure & Carroll, 2004). Specifically, it will address questions relating to the ways in which these teams come about, the different types of virtual research teams that exist, and the possible practices which result in the success these teams.
