Summary:We provide a short overview of the science of team science (SciTS). Starting from the notion of a scientific team, we move to interdisciplinary studies and finally the Science of Team Science itself. We describe the main areas of research in this field. As co-authorship networks may grow over time, which can lead to a future “global brain”, understanding how teams work and what leads to their failure or success is of the utmost importance. A thorough study of team science in all its aspects needs a collaborative, interdisciplinary and international approach. Such an approach will result in reaching the main objective of SciTS, namely to use science to transform the ways researchers do science and to enhance their effectiveness.
