The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Relying on Trust in Cooperative Inter-Organizational Relationships (2006, background): “For example, we “missed” the excellent collection on trust by Diego Gambetta (1988), the analysis by Bradach and Eccles (1989) exploring the triadic forces of price, authority, and trust, and the important contributions of Butler (1991) and Larson (1992).”
Evaluation on crowdsourcing research: Current status and future direction (2012, background): “The metropolis model offered a unified logic for reasoning about and managing system development for the two major forms of crowdsourcing systems: OSS and community-based service systems.”
Does Trust Still Matter? Research on the Role of Trust in Inter-Organizational Exchange (2006, background): “Gallivan (2001), building on Das and Teng (1998), identifies other substitutes for trust.”
Agile Software Development Methods: Review and Analysis (2017, background): “Several researchers, e.g. (Gallivan 2001; Crowston and Scozzi 2002), suggest that the OSS project represents in fact a virtual organization.”
The Impact of Ideology on Effectiveness in Open Source Software Development Teams (2006, background): “This literature often views OSS teams as kinds of virtual teams or organizations (Crowston and Scozzi 2002; Gallivan 2001; Malone and Laubacher 1998; Markus et al. 2000), but with some unique aspects.”
