Abstract
In this paper we propose a naturalistic methodology tailored
to test two term suggesting tools designed to support
exploratory search with PubMed. Terms co-occur with
user’s query terms in the initial returned set are extracted
and present to the user in two ways: one makes use of the
MeSH tress structure; the other rank terms by their mutual
information with the query. The user study adopts a quasiexperimental design, comparing the performance of the two
interfaces with the baseline PubMed interface on subject
searches. Of particular interest is the usefulness of the
proposed interfaces for difference types of search tasks.
One novel aspect of our methodology is the use of real user
and real search tasks in naturalistic work setting, instead of
using assigned tasks in a controlled experimental setting.
The performance criteria will be users’ satisfaction with the
search results and search experiences.
