Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Users are central to the design, evaluation, and use of information retrieval systems. And the methods by which they interact with information has changed at a rapid pace over the past few years. We invite submissions on user-centered approaches to information retrieval, access, and use, including studies of interactive retrieval systems, novel interaction paradigms, new evaluation methods, and related areas that highlight the interaction between information retrieval systems and human computer interaction.
We are particularly interested in articles that touch on the following areas:
- Information seeking, search and retrieval, including task-based and exploratory search
- Interaction techniques for information retrieval and discovery
- Online information-seeking behavior, including log analysis of search and browsing
- Modeling and simulation of information interaction
- Search user interfaces, including those for specialized tasks, populations and domains
- Information use, including measures of use and sense making
- Field and case studies relevant to information retrieval and access
- User-centered evaluation methods and measures, including measures of user experience and performance, experiment and search task design, eye-tracking and physiological approaches, data analysis methods, and usability
- Context-aware and personalized search, contextual features and analysis for information interaction
- Collaborative information seeking and social search, including social utility and network analysis for information interaction
- Information visualization and visual analytics, search result presentation
- User-centered work in other areas of information retrieval
