After 2022, scientists became more interdisciplinary and exploratory, collaborated across more fields, and reported more differentiated team roles, with the largest shifts among high-AI-writing, established, and non-English LMIC authors.

abstract
CSCW has long examined how emerging technologies reshape the ways researchers collaborate and produce knowledge, with scientific knowledge production as a central area of focus. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into scientific research, understanding how researchers adapt to it reveals timely opportunities for CSCW research -- particularly in supporting new forms of collaboration, knowledge practices, and infrastructure in AI-driven science. This study quantifies LLM impacts on scientific knowledge production based on an evaluation workflow that combines an insider-outsider perspective with a knowledge production framework. Our findings reveal how LLMs catalyze both innovation and reorganization in scientific communities, offering insights into the broader transformation of knowledge production in the age of generative AI and sheds light on new research opportunities in CSCW.

Scientific exploration, collaboration and labor division in the large language model era
After 2022, scientists became more interdisciplinary and exploratory, collaborated across more fields, and reported more differentiated team roles, with the largest shifts among high-AI-writing, established, and non-English LMIC authors.
