Technical Communication in R & D Laboratories: The Impact of Project Work Characteristics.
Abstract
Based on an information processing approach to organizations, this paper argues that project effectiveness is contingent on the match between the project's communication patterns and the nature of its work. Three hypotheses are developed to specify the nature of the contingent relationships. The results are consistent with an information processing approach to communication.

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.
