Introducing instant messaging and chat in the workplace (2002, background): “Chief among these issues were substantial delay in any work split across sites [7], and difficulties in coping with unforeseen events [5], and the difficulty of finding and negotiating the availability of co-workers [6].”
How do Data Science Workers Collaborate? Roles, Workflows, and Tools (2020, methodology): “ir findings partially echo previous results [34, 54, 67] that suggest data science workflows have many steps. More importantly, their findings are similar to the software engineering work cited above [42, 53, 87] opening the possibility that data science may also be a highly collaborative effort whe”

Hipikat: a project memory for software development (2005, background): “Moreover, studies show that workers are less likely to help their noncollocated colleagues [3], making it even harder for a newcomer to come up-to-speed on a project in a virtual team.”
An Empirical Study of Speed and Communication in Globally Distributed Software Development (2003, background): “Previous research [21], [23] suggests that cross-site communication and coordination issues cause a substantial loss of development speed.”
