A guide to developing harmonized research workflows in a team science context.

ABSTRACT: Large, interdisciplinary team science initiatives are increasingly leveraged to uncover novel insights into complex scientific problems. Such projects typically aim to produce large, harmonized datasets that can be analyzed to yield breakthrough discoveries using cutting-edge scientific methods. Successfully harmonizing and integrating datasets generated by different technologies and research groups is a considerable task, which requires an extensive supportive framework that is built by all members involved. Such a data harmonization framework includes a shared language to communicate across teams and disciplines, harmonized methods and protocols, (meta)data standards and common data elements, and the appropriate infrastructure to support the framework's development and implementation.
