This paper proposes such a framework and then uses four theories, namely resource dependency theory, organisational theory, actor-network theory and negotiated order theory, to understand how the framework s...

We propose that tacit knowledge acquired through relational mechanisms of social interaction is a major contributor to the functioning of collaborative networks. In our case study on a forensic science community, we examine empirica...
