A group decision support approach to evaluating journals

“…Dozens of experiments indicate the value of anonymity, especially in controversial issues such as the value of a journal. If people are assured of anonymity they will express their true opinions (e.g., [13,18,21]). (c) Funding agencies may mandate the use of the method once they find that it works better.…”

Collaboration Engineering Methodology: Horizontal Extension to Accommodate Project and Program Concerns

“…Under certain conditions, teams using collaboration technology attain 70-90% savings in project cycle times and cut labor hours by 50-70% while improving the quality of their work products [7,9,15,19,24]. These gains, however, were typically only realized in teams lead by expensive collaboration experts such as professional facilitators, so most teams could not attain those benefits.…”

In Search of SecondLife Nirvana

“…A variety of feature categorizations and frameworks has been proposed (e.g., DeSanctis & Gallupe, 1987). There has been extensive research examining GSS application in both laboratory and field settings (e.g., Dennis, George, Jessup, Nunamaker, & Vogel, 1988;Kwok, Ma, & Vogel, 2002;Nunamaker, Briggs, Mittleman, Vogel, & Balthazard, 1997;Qureshi, Liu & Vogel, 2006;Vogel, Nunamaker, Martz, Grohowski, & McGoff, 1990). GSS has also been evaluated in distributed contexts (e.g., Valacich, George, Nunamaker, & Vogel, 1994) with special attention to processes (e.g., Dean, Lee, Orwig, & Vogel, 1995;Dean, Orwig, & Vogel, 2000).…”
