| Abstract |
In order to improve academic information retrieval systems, we focused on users' searching behavior for academic papers. This paper described about the results of two studies; the observation study an...d the questionnaire survey. In the observation study, researchers were asked to use an academic information database. Elements they checked in the search results for document selection were examined. In the questionnaire survey, participants were researchers and students. The purpose of the survey is to find general searching behavior for scholarly search such as where users obtain academic papers, in addition to examine whether the results of observational study are general or not. As the results of these studies, the following items were found. Researchers use not only the commercial academic bibliographic databases but also information retrieval systems that are easy to access full text version articles, for example, digital libraries provided academic associations and Google Scholar. In the document selection from the search results, they use other than general bibliographic items such as PDFs of full text versions. There is a difference searching behavior between researchers and students.show more
