threaded vs. linear discussions

[Maria Soong]

I'm doing research on threaded(individual links to questions and answers)
and linear(one ongoing discussion) discussion formats. I would like to know
from a scientist's/researcher's perspective their thoughts on the best
representation of discussion material. Any information on this topic would
greatly be appreciated. Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Maria
