Scientific exploration, collaboration and labor division in the large language model era
Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly and significantly entered scientific workflows, but it remains unclear how their diffusion is associated with changes in scientists' strategies in research directions and team building. We link PubMed Central full text with OpenAlex publication and collaboration histories for 775,323 scientists and analyze CRediT contribution statements from 137,120 multi-author papers. After 2022, scientists increasingly published across more intellectually distant fiel
Scientists published across more intellectually distant fields after 2022, with established scientists and those from non-English-speaking countries showing increased interdisciplinarity. Collaboration networks also became more interdisciplinary, with team members taking on distinct responsibilities. Research roles became more fluid, with software and validation roles increasing.
