1 Define your goals and needs

Before you start looking for a research collaborator, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and what you need from a partner. Think about your research questions, methods, data, resources, and timeline. What are the gaps or challenges that you face? What are the skills or expertise that you lack or want to improve? What are the benefits or outcomes that you expect from a collaboration? Write down your goals and needs and use them as a guide for your search.

Find what you cannot solve yourself. Check within your network who is a reliable expert in it and might have common interest. Set goals, who does what and the intended milestone. Check in monthly about progression of the work.

2 Explore your network and beyond

One of the easiest ways to find a research collaborator is to tap into your existing network of colleagues, mentors, peers, and alumni. You can ask them for recommendations, referrals, or introductions to potential partners who have similar or complementary interests and backgrounds. You can also expand your network by attending conferences, workshops, seminars, or webinars related to your field or topic. Look for speakers, presenters, panelists, or attendees who catch your attention and reach out to them via email, social media, or online platforms.

3 Assess the fit and compatibility

Once you have a list of potential research collaborators, you need to evaluate how well they fit your goals and needs. You can do this by reviewing their publications, projects, profiles, or portfolios. Look for evidence of their expertise, experience, quality, impact, and reputation. You can also contact them directly and ask them about their availability, interest, expectations, and preferences. Try to have a conversation with them via phone, video call, or face-to-face meeting. Pay attention to how they communicate, listen, and respond. You want someone who is respectful, reliable, and enthusiastic.

Beyond evaluating expertise, critically assess the compatibility of potential collaborators. Analyze their working style, communication preferences, and overall approach to research. A harmonious collaboration is not solely based on skills but also on a shared vision and compatible work dynamics.

4 Establish the terms and expectations

After you find a research collaborator who meets your criteria and agrees to work with you, you need to formalize the terms and expectations of your partnership. You can do this by creating a collaboration agreement that outlines the roles, responsibilities, contributions, deliverables, timelines, and communication methods of each partner. You can also include the ethical, legal, and financial aspects of your collaboration, such as data ownership, authorship, intellectual property, and funding. Make sure that both parties sign the agreement and review it regularly.

5 Nurture the relationship and feedback

Finding the right research collaborator is not enough. You also need to maintain and nurture the relationship throughout the duration of your project and beyond.

I think … there is no harm in citing a well known logo here. Just Do It. That’s it, those are the three words to live by. There is no right or wrong - but only lessons to be learned, and move forward. Don’t ever , EVER hold back from reaching out to people , scientists, persons whom you think can offer answers to your questions , solutions to your problems , way forward to your sticky situations. Use ANY means possible, whether 1) email, 2) WhatsApp/ Messenger 3) traditional phone call and 4) visit on site by appointment In doing so, you may have just started a journey of a thousand miles by taking simply a first step. Just Do It.
