Presentation Transcript

  1. Enhanced Publications An enhanced experience?

  2. Overview • Problem • Current state of research • Hypothesis • Research method • Planning

  3. Problem • A lot of extra data • Useful for researchers • Overwhelming for laymen? • How can we avoid this? • Do conventional standards apply? • Can we find issues regarding the general usability of EP’s?

  4. Problem • “Does the addition of extra information in the form of for example images and interactive applications increase the feeling of comprehension?”

  5. Current state of research • Loads of research on usability in general. (Nielsen 1994; 1992) • Little to no research on the usability of Enhanced Publications • It is named as a reason to provide as much data and their relations as possible (Hoogerwerf, 2009) • Lots to be done

  6. Hypothesis • Adding images, videos, applications and such without taking steps to improve the usability will overwhelm the user, especially when they are not an expert on the topic of the paper. • The usability guidelines that apply to websites and web applications also apply to enhanced publications.

  7. Research method • Heuristic evaluation (Nielsen & Molich, 1990; Nielsen ). • Performed by 2 persons with reasonable expertise regarding usability • User testing • Questions about the publication • Problems found by the heuristic evaluation • Think-aloud • Post test questionnaire • Measure opinion • Will use the “The Niersen Beaker burial: A renewed study of a century-old excavation” publication(Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries)
