Exploiting the Search Culture Modulated by the Documentation Retrieval Applications

Abstract

Users Interaction with various wellestablished tools of documentation retrieval and the influence from each tool to the other ones have contributed in the creation of some search culture which is shared between the design assumptions (existing behind) of search interfaces and the user skills. The purpose of this work is to exploit the hidden design assumptions of the user interfaces in order to define search scenarios that combine concrete features for specific retrieval. One such interesting application case is the definition of scenarios for finding the citations that a researcher has got, excluding self citations
