{{Short description|Multiple associated researchers}}{{Not to be confused with|Study group}}

A '''research group''' is a group of [researchers](/source/researchers) often from the same [faculty](/source/Faculty_(division)), specialized on the same subject, working together on the issue or topic.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/centres/groups.page|title=Research groups - University of Southampton|website=www.southampton.ac.uk}}</ref>

The success of a research group depends on several factors: clearly defined goals, research emphasis, group climate, participative governance, decentralized organization, [communication](/source/communication), resources, [recruitment](/source/recruitment), selection, and leadership.<ref>{{cite web |title=Leading a productive research group - University of Oxford |url=https://www.ox.ac.uk/research/support-researchers/principal-investigators/principal-investigations-blog-pis/leading-productive-research-group?wssl=1# |url-access=registration |website=www.ox.ac.uk}}</ref>

Research groups may be mistaken for [study groups](/source/Study_group), which tend to be more casual and more frequently used by younger students.
