User Experiences with Open Access Knowledge Sharing Platforms: Preliminary User-Centered Design Implications for Complex Data-intensive Domains

摘要

In this paper, we present a preliminary study to seek to find user experience implications for encouragingcollaborative research cultures in complex data-intensive research fields by placing more design focus on userexperience and context of use. One hundred thirty-one participants responded to a number of self-reportingmeasures. We characterize current user experience in open access knowledge sharing platforms, perceivedusefulness and ease of use. We then address areas to further expend in applying user experience design to supportcomplex data-intensive domains. Finally, we discuss opportunities to enhance user experiences and address practicalissues faced by UX professionals.
