TL;DR: Focus on the Relationships, and Partnerships Will Come
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 December 2018
Extract
During our tenure on Google's People Analytics team, we have participated in dozens of research partnerships. Some have been wildly successful, resulting in changes to our own organizational practices or policies as well as academic publications. Other partnerships have been less fruitful, largely because both science and organizations are messy and unpredictable. But no matter the outcome, nearly all of our partnerships have come about in the same way—a way overlooked by the authors in their article (Lapierre et al., 2018).

Footnotes
“TL;DR” is Internet slang for “Too long; didn't read” and is used to indicate when a block of text has been ignored because of its length. At Google, the term is often used at the beginning of a detailed email or document along with one or two sentences that highlight the key message or request. We've been inspired by the spirit of TL;DR in both the content and the form of this response.
