Geographic separation sharply cuts opportunities for informal interaction.
“Opportunities for informal interactions are greatly reduced by geographic distance between collaborators [93,132].”
From Challenges and barriers in virtual teams: a literature review (2020) · cites this paper as [93]
Temporal distance decreases the number of opportunities for informal communication.
“Furthermore, as with geographic distance, temporal distance decreases the number of opportunities for informal communication [93,132] since the window in which all collaborators are available is small.”

Follow-the-sun methodologies, if used effectively, can result in efficient 24/7 productivity because work can be completed by one team member during another's off hours.
“Follow-the-sun methodologies, if used effectively, can result in efficient, 24/7 productivity since work can be completed by one team member during another's off hours [2,93,103].”
From Challenges and barriers in virtual teams: a literature review (2020) · cites this paper as [93]
Many organizations arrange for co-located team members to work on tightly coupled aspects while distance workers tackle loosely coupled parts, facilitated by deconstructing tasks into smaller pieces.
“To combat the challenges associated with relying on tightly coupled work, many organizations take a social approach that arranges for co-located team members to work on tightly coupled aspects of the project while distance workers tackle loosely coupled parts [64,193], facilitated by deconstructing tasks into smaller pieces [93].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
