Summary: P2P followership plays a crucial role in open source software development platforms by connecting users and shaping their engagement. However, the impact of P2P followership nodes of OSS project initiators on project popularity remains largely unknown. We propose that the quantity and connectivity of P2P followership nodes benefit OSS project initiators in terms of information and influence, explaining the popularity of their projects. Our findings from a large dataset collected from GitHub over 24 months indicate that the quantity of P2P followership nodes positively affects project popularity, with connectivity playing a crucial role in information benefits.

Summary: This study applies a systematic review and meta-analysis method to investigate the effects of different project complexity on project success and project management success. The results show that integrational complexity has a significant positive impact on project success and is not significantly associated with project management success. The study also discusses the effects of organizational, environmental, and technical complexity within the technical-organizational environmental (TOE) framework, and verifies the moderator of national/regional income level. These findings contribute to the understanding of project complexity and provide guidelines for achieving a balance between project success and project management success in construction projects.

Summary: This study investigates the robustness of open source communities through the construction of a semantic-based multi-project knowledge collaboration network. The results show that the network exhibits different levels of robustness to different failure modes and node types. It has high robustness to random failure and edge failure, but low robustness to deliberate failure and node failure. Additionally, it has high robustness to the failure of single-project nodes (or their edges) and low robustness to the failure of multi-project nodes (or their edges).

Summary: This study examines how project team role diversity affects the trade-off effects of inbound and outbound open innovation strategies on open source software project performance. The findings suggest that team role diversity explains the effects of these strategies on both technical and market performance of the project.

Summary: The study uncovered two different but related ways in which intellectual capital impacts the success of COSS companies. Relational capital directly affects COSS company success, while relational and structural capital indirectly affect COSS company success through human capital, which is further mediated by software quality.

Summary: This study predicts the success of crowdfunding projects by analyzing social media activity, human capital of funders, and online project presentation. It proposes a neural network method based on ensemble machine learning to prevent overfitting. The study shows that the ensemble neural network method achieves the highest accuracy for prediction. It also provides practical implications for project founders and investors by identifying influential features and offering a model to predict crowdfunding success.

Summary: This study is the first to explore the relationship between open source software (OSS) and entrepreneurship on a global scale. Using cross-country data, the study shows that participation on the GitHub OSS platform has a positive impact on the founding of new technology ventures in a country. The study also finds that OSS contributions lead to ventures that are more mission- and global-oriented and of higher quality.

Summary: This paper explores how sustained participation is maintained in viable OSSPCs using the integrative model of trust. Findings suggest that community citizenship behaviors and trust interact with each other, with CCBs having both accumulative positive impacts on trust and alternating impacts over time. Additionally, a delayed impact is identified in the Trust -> CCBs relationship, providing insights for future research and community management.

Summary: This paper investigates the relationships between structure characteristics of project network, types of conflicts, and project success. Findings show that network centrality of project stakeholders negatively affects project success, while the effect of network density is insignificant. Network density is positively related to task conflict but negatively related to process and relationship conflict. Network centrality is positively related to relationship conflict and has negative effects on task and process conflict.

Summary: Despite the increasing importance of the service industry in modern economies, research on service innovation success is still lacking compared to product innovation. There is a significant opportunity for theoretical developments and managerial insights in service innovation by studying the relationships among key success factors. The empirical evidence in this study highlights various paths to trigger external new service performance or market success and internal new service performance or the satisfaction, motivation, and commitment of front-line employees.

Summary: Acquiring biopotentials with fidelity using low-cost circuits is a challenging task in biomedical instrumentation. This perspective investigates the characteristics of the widely used AD8232(R) analog front-end for biopotential acquisition, and designs and evaluates circuits for acquiring electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), and electroencephalogram (EEG). The findings suggest that the circuit is suitable for ECG and EMG instrumentation, but has limitations, particularly in terms of gain, for EEG signals. The entire project also contributes to the exploration of open-source do-it-yourself biomedical instrumentation.

Summary: Stakeholder engagement plays an important role in project success, and this study examines the relationship between sustainable project management and sustainable project success, as well as the moderating effect of stakeholder engagement. The results show that both sustainable project management and stakeholder engagement have a positive impact on sustainable project success, but the positive moderating effect of stakeholder engagement is not significant. This article provides insights for the Chinese construction industry on achieving sustainable project success through enhanced project management and effective stakeholder engagement.
