Cooperation
Teams increasingly dominate solo authors in the production of knowledge. Research is increasingly done in teams across nearly all fields.
Teams typically produce more frequently cited research than individuals do, and this advantage has been increasing over time.
Teams now also produce the exceptionally high-impact research, even where that distinction was once the domain of solo authors.

Interpretation of RI for small groups
With 10-50 publications per year
RI ≤ 0.8 : below world average impact
0.8 < RI ≤ 1.2 : world average impact
1.2 < RI ≤ 2.0 : above world average impact
2.0 < RI ≤ 3.0 : very good average impact
RI > 3.0 : excellent average impact
