Browsing patterns in retrieved documents

Published:26 August 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

The paper reports a test exploring how retrieved documents are browsed. The access point to the documents was varied -- starting either from the beginning of the document or from the point where relevant information is located -- to find out how much browsing and context the users need to judge relevance. Test results reveal different within-document browsing patterns.
