Citations in the corpus

• The Creative Process (2005, unknown): “Feedback in this experiment is anonymous, because we analyze the quality of the musical suggestions regardless of the relationship between composers and commentators, as it has been shown that relationships between peers can influence collaborative music composition (Miell & MacDonald, 2000).”
• Collaborative Group Work in Middle Childhood (2009, unknown): “…mathematics [Damon & Phelps, 1988; Schwarz, Neuman, & Biezuner, 2000; Webb, 1989], science [Azmitia & Montgomery, 1993; Howe & Tolmie, 1998; Howe, Tolmie, & Mackenzie, 1995], and the humanities [Miell & MacDonald, 2000; Morgan, Hargreaves, & Joiner, 2000; Pontecorvo, Paoletti, & Orsolini, 1989].”
• Creativity and flow in musical composition: an empirical investigation (2006, background): “Two such studies (MacDonald et al., 2002; Miell and MacDonald, 2000) highlighted how social variables such as friendship can impact upon both the processes and outcomes of pupils’ collaborative compositions.”
• Conceptualizing Perseverance in Problem Solving as Collective Enterprise (2017, background): “Studies of collaborative problem solving have even extended ZPD to show how peers negotiate and define task goals, and develop shared expectations (e.g., Forman, 1989, 1992; Miell & MacDonald, 2000; Newman, Griffin, & Cole, 1984).”
• The discourse of collaborative creative writing: Peer collaboration as a context for mutual inspiration (2008, methodology): “Later it has been modified (Kruger, 1992) and applied to collaborative music composition (Miell & MacDonald, 2000).”
