For students, a laboratory is an organizational structure that encourages collaboration and individualization, rather than requiring them to work alone. Collaborative work produces better results than doing so individually. The number of scientists in a laboratory can vary greatly, from a few to several hundred, and there are many different coordination mechanisms used to ensure productivity and quality. These processes may include formalizing objectives and procedures, and implementing quality management and socialization processes.
