Segal, Judith2020-06-062020-06-06400722009http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10606-009-9096-9https://dl.eusset.eu/handle/20.500.12015/3993In earlier work, I identified a particular class of end-user developers, who include scientists and whom I term ‘professional end-user developers’, as being of especial interest. Here, I extend this work by articulating a culture of professional end-user development, and illustrating by means of a field-study how the influence of this culture causes cooperation problems in an inter-disciplinary team developing a software system for a scientific community. My analysis of the field study data is informed by some recent literature on multi-national work cultures. Whilst acknowledging that viewing a scientific development through a lens of software development culture does not give a full picture, I argue that it nonetheless provides deep insights.community software developmentcooperationfield studyprofessional end-user developersscientific software developmentsoftware development cultureText/Journal Article10.1007/s10606-009-9096-91573-7551
