QuickRef: Should I Read Cited Papers for Understanding This Paper?

Published: 19 April 2023 Publication History

Editorial Notes

The authors have requested minor, non-substantive changes to the VoR and, in accordance with ACM policies, a Corrected VoR was published on July 13, 2023. For reference purposes the VoR may still be accessed via the Supplemental Material section on this page.

Abstract

Researchers spend lots of time for reading scientific papers as they need to stay updated with recent trends. However, navigating citations, which are indispensable elements of research papers, can act as a barrier for junior researchers as they do not have enough background knowledge and experience. We conduct a formative user study to identify challenges in navigating cited papers. We then prototype QuickRef, an interactive reader that provides additional information about cited papers on the side panel. A preliminary user study documents the usability of QuickRef. Further, we present practical design implications for citation navigation support.
