Computer Key-Stroke Logging and Writing: Methods and Applications. Studies in Writing. (Electronic book text)

Computer key-stroke logging is an exciting development in writing research methodology allowing analysis of revisions and pauses in the online writing process. Key-stroke logging is a dynamic area of research with broad applications in writing research and information processing. Computer key-stroke logging and Writing is the first book in this area to successfully collect a group of leading key-stroke logging researchers into a single volume and offers an invaluable introduction and overview of the field. It provides the reader unfamiliar with the technique a sound background in key-stroke logging technology and an understanding of its potential in writing research. Leading researchers demonstrate how key-stroke logging can be used to analyse the writing process phenomena of the pause, the writing unit and the revision unit. These phenomena are illustrated with data from current key-stroke logging research projects. In the final sections th
