Wilbur, Sylvia, Rubin, Tony and Lee, Stephen (1986): A Study of Group Interaction over a Computer-Based Message System. In: Harrison, Michael D. and Monk, Andrew (eds.) Proceedings of the Second Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers II August 23-26, 1986, University of York, UK. pp. 235-248.

“This paper is based on a study of the use of a computer-based message system for collaboration among a team of researchers based at five different sites. A review is presented of similar work on messaging for group communication, and attention is drawn to the comparative paucity of empirical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of computer-based systems in this respect. An analysis is made of messages sent over the period of a year, during which the team developed a joint proposal for a programme of research and successfully obtained approval for funding. Two methods have been used to carry out the analysis. First, a statistical analysis using the SPSS package was conducted, and these results are shown in figures within the paper. This was followed by an analysis of the contents of messages, and this was carried out manually, in the absence of a suitable application package. Since there were over 1400 messages to be examined, contents were categorised on the basis of a restricted set of criteria, chosen to reflect the team's objectives and with reference to other work in the area. The analysis allows us to make observations about the kinds of interaction that took place, and the extent to which the system was able adequately to support the communication requirements of the group. We believe that further research of this kind will result in the introduction of new structures and design features in advanced message systems of the future.”
