Abstract

This paper will address scientific collaboration at the Zoophysiological Laboratory during the 1911—1945 directorship of Nobel Prize winner August Krogh. Using authorship information and acknowledgments from the laboratory's publications, this paper maps the many researchers involved in the work. In total, 193 different people contributed to the work at the Zoophysiological Laboratory. The paper further analyzes what labor, materials, ideas, and knowledge were exchanged between the individuals in the laboratory. While science has become more collaborative throughout the twentieth century, this paper underlines that collaboration was very much part of the research process in the early twentieth century.
