The design of PROPIE was based on a thorough user needs and requirements assessment in interacting with information through well\u2010documented findings, and a focus group with twelve participants to elicit features that were deemed desirable in future interactions. The design was also based on an earlier work which reviewed the advancements in various user interface (UI) technologies, visualisation and interactive techniques, and a consideration of novel information structuring and organisation techniques that pose important implications for the design of more advanced UIs. Providing a suite of novel features and interactive tools that can be flexibly combined, PROPIE allows users to apply multiple novel ways to query intuitively and navigate information in an e\u2010document. The querying and browsing processes in PROPIE are supported by various interactive and visualisation techniques. Users work within a visually sovereign, integrated environment for information gathering and organising, based on navigable, fractional information objects that are also affiliated with rich metadata and additional layers of value\u2010adding information. A set of interface mock\u2010ups was developed to demonstrate the potential of the environment in supporting the design of a new generation of electronic journals (e\u2010journals). We report here empirical results from a study conducted to obtain representative users\u2018 feedback with regard to using PROPIE for interacting with e\u2010journals. Twenty\u2010two participants from a variety of academic backgrounds participated in the evaluation. Overall, PROPIE was found to have the potential both for enhancing the user\u2019s interaction with information captured within e\u2010journals and for adding value to e\u2010documents in various ways.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/eum0000000007088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,11,21]],"date-time":"2002-11-21T21:43:51Z","timestamp":1037915031000},"page":"377-426","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A user study of the design issues of propie: a novel environment for enhanced interaction and value\u2010adding of electronic documents"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Chern","family":"Li Liew","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Schubert","family":"Foo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"K.R.","family":"Chennupati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"volume-title":"Writing space: the computer, hypertext and the history of writing","year":"1991","author":"Bolter J.D.","key":"p_1"},{"volume-title":"Scholarly publishing: the electronic frontier","year":"1996","author":"Odlyzko A.M.","key":"p_2"},{"volume-title":"Scholarly publishing: the electronic frontier","year":"1996","author":"Harnad S.","key":"p_4"},{"key":"p_6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/274430.274436"},{"key":"p_7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-4571(199711)48:11<970::AID-ASI2>3.0.CO;2-Z"},{"key":"p_8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/EUM0000000007164"},{"key":"p_9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/EUM0000000007185"},{"key":"p_10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/226931.226951"},{"key":"p_11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/276675.276679"},{"key":"p_12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5210\/fm.v2i8.542"},{"key":"p_13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3998\/3336451.0003.102"},{"journal-title":"D-Lib Magazine","year":"1998","author":"Hitchcock S.","key":"p_14"},{"key":"p_15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3998\/3336451.0003.101"},{"journal-title":"Chemical & Engineering News","year":"1998","author":"Wilkinson S.L","key":"p_16"},{"volume-title":"Designing and using human-computer interfaces and knowledge-based systems.","year":"1989","author":"Kreitzberg C.B.","key":"p_17"},{"key":"p_18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3998\/3336451.0003.307"},{"key":"p_19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/238386.238493"},{"key":"p_20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/INFVIS.1998.729567"},{"key":"p_21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/INFVIS.1996.559210"},{"key":"p_22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/192426.192435"},{"key":"p_23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/168642.168652"},{"key":"p_24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/108844.108870"},{"key":"p_25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/EUM0000000006985"},{"key":"p_26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/eb026722"},{"key":"p_27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0957-4174(95)00011-W"},{"key":"p_28","first-page":"55","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Conference on Information Retrieval, '93","author":"Belkin N.J.","year":"1993"},{"key":"p_29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/eb024320"},{"key":"p_30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-4571(2000)51:10<913::AID-ASI40>3.0.CO;2-N"},{"key":"p_31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/eb026960"},{"key":"p_32","first-page":"122","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Fourteenth National Online Meeting.
