ABSTRACT:       The twentieth century saw the progressive
collectivization of science-dramatic growth in teamwork in general and
large-scale collaboration in particular. Cognitive partnering in the
conduct of research and scholarship has become commonplace, and this
trend is reflected in rates of co-authorship and sub-authorship
collaboration. The effects of these developments on academic writing are
discussed and theorized in terms of distributed cognition.
