The "Work in Preparation" (PREP) Editor: Support for Co-Authoring and Commenting

该项目的目标是开发一个“正在准备的工作”(PREP)编辑器，一个多用户环境，以支持各种协作，特别是，共同撰写和评论学术交流的关系。该编辑程序旨在促进对跨本地和远程电子网络的共同编写和评论关系的深入研究。PI将重点放在学术社区上，因为他们已经是协作工作小组。它们不是明确地围绕单一的具体目标组织起来的，但小组成员都有一个共同的目标，那就是推动知识状态的发展。这样的工作小组是在当地组建的，但他们也会作为共同的“隐形学院”的成员，在远处进行密集的互动。提高这种松散耦合协作的有效性是本研究下开发的工具的一个重要功能。该项目在计算机科学、心理学和组织传播学方面具有科学意义。在沟通和组织心理学方面，该项目有助于进一步完善和测试团队作为共同作者和评论者一起工作时如何有效互动的合作模式。在计算机科学领域，该项目为支持作者之间结构化协作的编辑系统提供概念验证测试，以及有效管理外部评论者可以对作者进行的大量评论；工作草案。

The goal of this project is to develop a "work in preparation" (PREP) editor, a multi-user environment to support a variety of collaborative and, and in particular, co-authoring and commenting relationships for scholarly communication. The editor is designed to facilitate the intensive study of co-authoring and commenting relationships across local and remote electronic networks. The PI's focus on scholarly communities because they are already collaborative work groups. They are not explicitly organized around single, concrete goals, but members of groups share the common goal of advancing the state of knowledge. Such work groups are organized in local settings, but they also interact intensively at a distance, as members of a common "invisible college." Enhancing the effectiveness of this loosely-coupled collaboration is an important function for the tools developed under this research. The project has scientific significance in computer science, psychology, and organizational communication. In communication and organizational psychology, the project contributes to the further refinement and test of a collaborative model of how groups usefully interact when working together as co-authors and commenters. In computer science, the project provides a proof of concept test for editing systems that support structured collaboration among authors as well as the efficient management of large volumes of comments that external commenters can make of authors; working drafts.
