Cooperation among scientists is a vital and necessary part of research. A review of authorship of technical papers in many professional journals reveals that home economists often cooperate with other home economists and with experts in other disciplines in conducting research (Horn and Nickols, 1982). Many of the cooperative efforts are limited to researchers within a small geographical area. On a broader scale, the federal government has supported cooperative research for almost 40 years through formally organized cooperative regional research pro jects dealing with problems related to agriculture and home economics.
