Using Collaborative Coding to Study How Research Teams Coordinate Work

This project shares research into collaborative distributed work by undergraduate researchers, as part of a larger investigative team, conducted with the Corpus & Repository of Writing (Crow). This study tests the “Constructive Distributed Work (CDW)” model, a heuristic for ethical collaboration developed by Crow, to study Crow's application of the framework. Through coding a dataset pulled from a team communication platform used by Crow, we describe the collaborative processes of researchers on our team, and share information about our evolving methods for coding and analyzing the data.
