Extended Data Table 3 Assessing the robustness of the reduced probability of conceiving research for the same scientist when switching from onsite to remote

From: Remote collaboration fuses fewer breakthrough ideas

  1. From our dataset of author contributions, we select 21,373 scientists who worked in both onsite and remote teams. These authors published 31,815 papers in total, which gives us 65,143 paper-author records. Using author-fixed effect regressions41,46, we find that the same scientist is less likely to conceive research and more likely to perform experiments when switching from onsite to remote, when fields, periods, and team sizes are accounted for.
  2. Note: All statistical tests are two-sided t-test and no adjustments were made for multiple comparisons. For Model 1-2, standard errors (in parentheses) are clustered at the author level. * p < 0.05; ** p-value < 0.01; *** p-value < 0.001. We used the REGHDFE package in STATA1646 to implement the fixed-effects regressions.
