  Team interactions are often multisensory, requiring members to pick up on
verbal, visual, spatial and body language cues. Multimodal research, research
that captures multiple modes of communication such as audio and visual signals,
is therefore integral to understanding these multisensory group communication
processes. This type of research has gained traction in biomedical engineering
and neuroscience, but it is unclear the extent to which communication and
management researchers conduct multimodal research. Our study finds that
despite its' utility, multimodal research is underutilized in the communication
and management literature's. This paper then covers introductory guidelines for
creating new multimodal research including considerations for sensors, data
integration and ethical considerations.
