DeBakey, Michael E. "The Odyssey Of The Artificial Heart." Artificial Organs 24.6 (2000): 405-411. Academic Search Complete. Web. 12 Dec. 2016.This is a transcript of a speech that Dr. Michael DeBakey gave on September 28, 1998 regarding the development of the artificial heart. He recounts his rationale for pursuing a collaborative research effort with Rice University. Because he was tackling such a complex problem, he saw the need for a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach. He describes the results of his research with Rice, which included the development of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and a prototype of a total artificial heart. He also subtly references how Dr. Cooley took and modified the artificial heart model without his permission and transplanted it into a human patient. His speech allowed us to further explore our archive by providing a first-hand recollection of the events that our archive depicts. Because he is describing his own accomplishments, he may exaggerate their importance.

Katz, J. Sylvan, and Ben R. Martin. "What Is Research Collaboration?" Research Policy 26.1 (1997): 1-18. ScienceDirect. Web. 9 Dec. 2016. In this paper, Katz and Martin analyze the validity of assumptions that are made about research collaboration. They argue that research collaboration is a vague concept that can take on many different forms, and they attempt to define criteria for what constitutes a “collaboration.” After considering possible scenarios of collaboration, Katz and Martin argue that collaboration is not the same as co-authorship, which has been used as a measure of collaboration in previous research studies. They also identify the factors that motivate collaboration as well as the benefits and costs of collaboration by citing previous research and analyzing current research practices. Overall, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the concept of research collaboration. We used the ideas in this paper when giving an explanation of research collaboration and identifying the pros and cons of collaboration.
