TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Actually I meant scholarly papers and research studies observing and documenting user behavior in this area.
Example: There's a great deal of research on effectiveness of screen captures in documentation (especially software doc), per van der Meij, Gellevij, etc.
Looking for something comparable in the area of inline links in hypertext (especially post-2000).
I don't recall seeing those references in the EPPO book but it's been some time.
Thanks,
Steve

Subject: RE: inline links (Re: Online help access question)
I haven't had a chance to follow this interesting discussion, but is there any research on this?
It also seems to be something from the UX field so I would think they've explored this at least a little.
I'd be interested in seeing any citations of good research.
Thanks,
Steve
