  • Usability is a key concept of Human-Computer Interaction research, but its application in the Information Systems literature has been limited to date.

    “Although usability is a key concept of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research (Hornbaek, 2006), its application in the Information Systems (IS) literature has been limited to date (Venkatesh & Ramesh, 2006).”

  • Historically, usability evaluation has primarily concerned itself with performance-based measures of usability.

    “Historically, usability evaluation has primarily concerned itself with performance-based measures of usability (Hornbaek, 2006;Otter & Johnson, 2000).”

  • Different contexts of use require new measures of usability to adequately capture what is considered important in the particular context.

    “It has been argued that different contexts of use require new measures of usability to adequately capture what is considered important in the particular context (Hornbaek, 2006}.”

  • Performance includes measures of both efficiency (time) and effectiveness (score), which is typical in usability studies.

    “Performance includes measures of both efficiency (time) and effectiveness (score), which is typical in usability studies (Hornbaek, 2006).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
