Abstract
The virtual, integrated, and diversified trend is an essential feature of research teams in the new round of scientific and technological revolution. Exploring factors affecting the performance of research teams under the new development trend is of great significance to promote the researchers' performance and to improve the national scientific and technological innovation strength. On the basis of extensive literature review, this paper investigates the impact of six factors on the performance of research teams (quantity and quality of academic papers), namely team size, institutional diversity, country diversity, interdisciplinarity, the richness of funding sources, and team instability. The results indicate that the quantity of scientific team output is positively related to team size, institutional diversity, and richness of funding sources, and negatively related to country diversity, interdisciplinarity, and team instability; the output quality is positively related to the richness of funding sources, and negatively related to institutional diversity.
