1. An enhanced experience?

2.  Problem  Current state of research  Hypothesis  Research method  Planning

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

5.  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.  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.  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)
