q2 · i? · causal · r?

Author interpretation stated in the abstract: the benefit of collaboration support "seems to be increased information sharing", leading to the suggestion that collaboration scripts help "overcome the challenges of collaboration". No effect size is reported in this passage.

"The reason for this seems to be increased information sharing. Thus, this study suggests that successful collaborative diagnoses require collaboration support and that collaboration scripts can help overcome the challenges of collaboration."
